No it doesn't.
Obviously it provides billions of lives for various types
of animals.

No it doesn't, it provides NO life for anything. It systematically
arranges animal breeding to serve it's purposes.

No human endeavor "provides life", humans and their
"industries" control the breeding and deaths of animals so they become
consumer products. Only nature, or God if you like, "provides life".

You're trying to play God, claiming a credit for life itself,
Only a very stupid person would think about it like that.
People with better ability to understand realise that the
meat industry provides life for billions of animals.

Nope, no industry ever "provided" a single life, they only arrange
births and deaths to provide a consumer product


You poor stupid fool. The consumer product comes from
the life necessarily provided as you just stated. You are such
a slow, shallow little fool.


No industry, no human, has ever "provided life" for any animal. Humans
herd animals into barns and orchestrate breeding, feeding and slaughter
to provide "products", not life. Humans can cause death of animals, they
can't cause life of animals. Placing animals in pens together is not
"giving life", artificial insemination is not "creating life". You're
trying to put yourself on a pedestal, just like ARAs do.
