Say goodbye to cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, turkeys, etc. Without a purpose - meat - there's no reason for them to be bred & no reason for them to exist.
Say goodbye to barn cats, farm specific breed dogs - such as livestock guardian dogs - and many more things as there's no reason for them to exist anymore.
.
Happened with draft & carting horses - and why many breeds are listed as rare or near extinction - with the invention/popularity of farm equipment & vehicles no need for farm horses or horse & buggy. No real reason to breed these horses anymore.
.
Say goodbye to healthy intelligent human beings.
It's proven that vegans have a lower IQ.
That both vegans & vegetarians are more likely to develop brain & other developmental disabilities (higher risk of Alzheimer's for example).
That both vegans & vegetarians are at a higher risk of heart damage/coronary failure due to lack of vitamin b12, etc due to things like hyperhomocysteinemia.
.
Meat products have a LOT of nutrients you can't easily get from other produce that is essential for development and human survival. We're omnivores. Nor herbivores. If we were herbivores we'd have teeth like a cow or horse.
The reason WHY humans developed to be smarter because we ate meat.

It's proven & its been proven among the greater primates that meat-eating apes - and they certainly exist, only difference is is 99% of the time they eat their meat while it's still screaming - are smarter than their brethren.
Grew up on a family farm/ranch here. People would starve to death. So I'd imagine we'd all feel pretty hungry.
Cattle for example, one can have thousands of head in a relatively small area and they can eat grass in the warmer seasons to feed themselves.
To feed one person per year, requires a insane amount of farm land to grow food. Anywhere from 2 to 17 acres on average, this is for ONE person. The range is due to different soil types, rocky harder ones grow less food... fertile ones grow more.
There literally isn't enough farm land left, open land or fresh water to grow those kind of farms.
The western USA for example has lots of open land, but no water to farm it.
That would be stupid. I can see it getting cost prohibitive where the local population and ecology don't support sustainable grazing though.
As long as people have access to a healthy diet I'm happy. It's fine for meat to be a luxury, as long as people are getting enough protein elsewhere.
The trouble is that animal protein is much more digestible and bioavailable. You really need to heavily process plants to get anywhere near that efficiency.
Personally I'm in favor of reducing the impact of meat production with lab made meat, sustainable grazeland, and fish farming as a part of aquaponics. Enhanced plant products also have a role to play. Just don't ask me to eat bugs or Soylent green lol.
Highly like I would be involve in chaos... I mean there would black market beef trading going on every where. Criminal cartels solely based on animal slaughter would be created, and there would be zero health or animal wealth fare standards... it would chaos and I would want my meat.

Lol Id laugh at how stupid humans are.. if that ever happens it proves most people have below 100 iq and I'd jus laugh at how stupid society is that they don't understand nature and the food chain hahhahahha, what next? Banning sex? Retards lol
Also I wouldn't listen to this law, I'd walk into a farm and decapitate a pigs head and bring it into a police station and eat it Infront of the cops, I don't care if I get arrested, at least I will prove my point that I won't follow such stupid fucking rules
As we fucked the Eco system by killing predictors like wolves and bears it's necessary to hunt some deer to protect the forests in many places. Letting that meat go to waste is just dumb and wasteful
Otherwise I don't care as I don't eat meat
Not that it would work anyway. It would just create a black market for meat in possibly very unsanitary conditions. It would just lead to the spread of dangerous pathogens
I'd laugh. Because it would cause yet another international illegal trade to take root all over the world and people who wanted to eat a steak bad enough would by one illegally and eat it. It would be the prohibition and the war on drugs. But this time people would be getting rich of illegally distributing and selling steaks.
I would consider start a civil war because of it. That way you won´t solve the problem yes we all have to take compromises but the last time checked in most western countries that tried to make alcohol illegal it´s legal nowadays.
What´s your gain then? Control people´s private life? Make a person completely see through otherwise the law wouldn´t function.
Okay if the government said I wasn't allowed to eat meat then they'd see hell on earth. Theirs few things in life that I have a burning passion for and one of those things is meat. (Oh yeah and i require a lot of protein or get tired, even more depressed, hungrier and start. to feel weak) one time I ate raw chicken because I was hungry and didn't feel I had the time for it to be cooked.
Wouldn´t work because it´s way too intimate. That way the government would take away the privacy of everybody to assure that no body and no where meat is consumed, it would turn the world into police states that try to control everyone.
Because the government would take that as an excuse to observe everything you do anywhere you go.
Whenever the government makes something illegal, all it’s doing is creating an unregulated black market. It’s not solving a problem at all. See the war on drugs, see prohibition, if you need any examples that prove my point. The government is less competent than an autistic three year old when it comes to accomplishing whatever it is they set out to do. This is why I don’t understand why everyone is so afraid of them.
I would literally be shocked and it would be difficult to eat healthily.
It would not matter if hunting was made illegal it would still continue,
Poaching/Hunting has been going on since man killed the first animal by driving them off a cliff, It is part of being human.
Will never happen, it would be political suicide to even suggest trying forbid basic human rights to feed themselves.
Bureaucrat would just end up dead. Are you willing to die to try and control what I eat? Food is what keeps me alive. I can tell you I'm willing to kill to stay alive...
It wouldn't, as it can't.
A large portion of the economy and food chain relies on meats. Sure it's cutting down year on year but nowhere near where a ban would be possible.
India has a ban on beef - but it's a world top 10 exporter.
I guess if farming became illegal we would all starve.
I wouldn't mind.
It would mean faster commercialization of plant based meat alternatives, and I'd be able to probably cash in with growing mushrooms of all types.
That is not going to happen... Vegan only exit is Europe... And even then you cannot argue with religion people... Specially with muslim... So I feel great... Since the concept of veganism is stupid... Pain is suffering? Really? Pain indicates suffering, is itself not suffering... Plants dont feel pain because they can grow back...
Well, it would be very difficult for people to get enough protein in their diets and would result in a huge price increase for fish and eggs.
I only eat fish but not any other meat so it wouldn't really affect me. However, there would probably end up being an overpopulation of cows, pigs, chickens, and other animals that are bred for meat.
Well I would hope whoever made it happen would make produce cheaper and would pay for any medical issues people have as a result of not eating meat.
Chaos? Nah I'd get rich. I'd just become a criminal. Raise a bunch of rabbits and chicken. Then sell the meat and eggs on the black market.
It wouldn't work. You think prohibition failed? How much worse would it have done if the enforcing agents mere made of booze?
