Go vegan??? I am all about it but ranchers have been setting controlled fires for a long time. When other forests all over the world get out of hand somehow people band together to get it under control. What's really going on here?
Apparently 'The Amazon' also includes farmland, most of which hasn't been forest for some time. You can argue that the farmland should have never been converted in the first place, but stating the Amazon is burning because farmers and ranchers are burning their fields is a bit disingenuous.
The “greatest generation” has consumed more resources than all human generations combined. The have traded humanity for comfort and at this point we are beyond prevention and should look for ways to preserve the few that will survive when the earth decides enough is enough.

If you do it out of compassion for animals, go ahead, be vegan. But please don't try to get people to go vegan over stuff that a vegan diet has an equal if not bigger share in.
Mono crops fed to cattle and mono crops fed to people, economically, are one thing, one problem. A problem that must be addressed by addressing mono crops.
