@@sarahbelle81 exactly it's healthier, sustainable and not cruel and unethical. Will you eat less meat? Probably, but you also probably don't need to eat as much of if. It will also force you to consume less noble cuts and parts of the cow we sometimes think are disgusting (heart, liver, etc) which adds to the overall efficiency, nutrition, The problem is that the government does not implemente the real price of meat to keep the industry of food processing making huge profits. Government also needs to correct the low salary/high profits otherwise people will stop consuming meat which may lead to serious health consequences. Yes Lewis Hamilton is vegan and so are many many famous people... but he is worth £300 million and has the best specialists in the world crafting an extremely complex varied diet personalised to his taste, physiology, genetics and needs while monitoring numerous parameters to maximise health, well-being and performance. He also has people who plan, shop for ingredients and prepare his meals. BUT, sometimes people get carried away and cannot see the bigger picture...all in all is this diet that better in terms of sustainability and environment? Is the huge amounts of money Lewis spends on his diet while others can't that ethical and significant for the whole picture???, money that he makes from being a pilot for over 14 years of polluting ICE's open wheel racing championship that whitewashes and runs ads of polluting and criminal states and personalities; money that he makes from advertisements and sponsorships for highly unethical and polluting corporations; money that he earns because other people are kept poor buying up the shit he sells either directly (adverts) and indirectly (sponsorships to him, his team and the championship); money that he partially hides in tax havens. This is just Lewis, maybe the most ethical and conscientious of the bunch. Normal people don't have the time, knowledge and capital to ensure a healthy vegan diet. Those who go vegan find it extremely hard because not only you are extremely limited in what you can eat, you have to have a lot of certain foods to get specific macronutrients. Most end up eating highly processed expensive vegan food and taking various expensive supplements. Not even mentioning intolerances and personal taste/circumstances. Is a processed food and supplements based diet that good for someone? Especially a likely nutrient deficient uncontrolled one?! Is it that ethical, unpolluting and sustainable after all?? What about habitats that are obliterated to cultivate monocultures for supplements and the vegan industry?

You are 100% correct about bottle raised animals, especially the males. Bottle raised bulls are very dangerous, goats and sheep are both dangerous. A ram that was raised on a bottle by my neighbor destroyed his knee. You couldn't even walk in the pasture with him. The issue is because they were raised by humans they equate you as another bull, buck, or ram entering their territory and will act accordingly.

Oh my goodness! I thought the same thing

[@Mothertron]

they are beautiful animals, i used to ride my horse past a paddock that had 2 of these beautiful animals, they used to always come up to say hello to myself and my horse, never attempted to touch any of them ever, when you dont know an animal personally you dont take risks, Hamish is awsome, i enjoyed the video and agree with you 100%, i am from Australia in the state of victoria, i grew up in kinglake as a child, in the bush on a mountin, farm land .one of our horses lived to 44 years old, we bought him when he was 14, most people remember him, so many learnt to ride on him, thanks again, take care stay safe xoxoxo

In the Netherlands highlanders are used in several national parks and other natural environments. Mostly to get a more varied landscape. But also to prevent trees to grow, like in heathland and inland sand dunes. The highlanders are just free to roam everywhere they want. When you meet them you’re advised to keep distance and wait until they passed.

I raised Scottish Highland, Low Line Angus, Dexters, and especially Miniature Herefords for quite a few years. "Most" of all of those are pretty docile.

After I recovered from two broken ribs from his shenanigans, well.. he tasted really, really good.

[@mk_gamíng0609]

@@armata_strigoi_0 Ive seen bigger, but tbh I do live next to a field and there is often Highlands in them. Also Highlands are common here in Cumbria due to most of the farming being on hills/mountainous terrain so generally the tougher breeds of cattle and sheep are used since there gonna be going a long time without the farmers coming in to check on them when there out in the fields.

[@ukenceto]

I didn't even know people did that. Thought the only reason anyone would bottle feed an animal baby is if something's happened to the mother and there's no fitting surrogate. If experts say they need nearly an year with their mommas, people better listen! Not to mention the responsibility behind getting a cow to begin with, but that's another question.

[@saddleupvickysue1412]

Like you, I thought the only bottle fed was one where the mom died or the mom rejected the baby calf. So well said. Thank you.

People just see the baby's and think "awww cute". Then idiots sell them too people and all of a sudden you have a massive animal that doesn't understand boundaries and how to actually be. People do this a ton with "micro pigs" not knowing the only reason there so small is because people starve them, few years later boom you have a very not so small sized pig and nowhere to house it properly.

@@brettpearce8843 The are well fed, just lack a specific nutrient to make sure they do not grow to immense size.

[@zakosist]

@@jamegumb7298 If so that probably isn't very healthy for the pigs themself. If you deprive them of something they normally should have because you dont want them to grow and develop how they are supposed to, that is abuse and not very different from actually starving it (they are still malnourished). I have read about mini pigs and they are actually about the size of a large dog or somewhat larger (when adult and properly cared for). If people dont want pigs the way they are, they shouldn't have them and rather get an animal that actually fits them

[@helentee9863]

@@zakosist in the UK some 6-8 years ago there was a craze for micro pigs, the only problem was that most of the piglets people bought were simply very young ordinary pigs. In around 1 year a lot of very unhappy people found that they had a pet pig bigger than an adult human to find a home for ! People can be pretty stupid at times.
