What an incredibly stupid, ans maybe even low-key racist article.
The Somali pirates were always fishermen. Their fishing villages have existed for centuries. Their priacy is a response to modern industrial mega-ships fron foreign countries illegally fishing in Somali waters and depleting the stock of fish. They didn’t need to be taught how to fish.
Fix the symptoms vs fixing the problem
Okay so now instead of threatening to harm humans they are actually killing animals
In my opinion, the best way to minimize the killing of animals for food is to improve cultered meat production. In general, all it needs to do is become cheaper to produce/buy than regular meat.
A vegan diet is up to 30% cheaper today. No need to wait for some hypothetical new alternative to meat. There is already vegan meats. You can always swap to a different alternative whenever it comes out if you want.

this study only looked at retail costs. it didn’t account for anyone who gets free or subsidized animal products, or who raises, hunts, fishes, or traps their own. in other words, it didn’t consider any poor people.
they are not considering cases where you get free products from animal agriculture
Yes and they also did not consider getting free products from regular agriculture. So let’s say it balances out?
instead of guessing why don’t we just say it’s outside the scope of the study, and the study doesn’t actually tell us whether being vegan is affordable
