We should all be celebrating where we can

I WISH to respond to Peter Auty’s letter of June 5 and come to the defence of vegans and solar farms.

- 

Why has Mr Auty got it in for poor old vegans? After all, they make up less than 5 per cent of the population and there are now more meat-eaters in this country than there were ten years ago.

Though not vegan myself, I have respect for animals and do not wish to eat them.

It is intensive factory and US-style megafarms which cause far more damage to our environment and take up more space than solar farms.

In the county of Norfolk there are 122 megafarms and 25,748,309 factory-farmed animals, and in the Severn and Wye valleys, a UK hotspot for intensive poultry production, there are 79 chickens per human.
