Some meat eaters have more environmentaly friendly diets than most vegans

So the point goes like this...

Some people live where there are some dangerous invasive species like wild boar. Then can derive a huge part of there diet from hunting them. Now compared to many vegans who dont grow most of there food this can be much better for the environment. Most vegans eat foods that are transporter from tropical places or at least from across the nation
.. Like avocado s in california going all across America....
So the carbon emissions from transportation seems to make these vegan diets worse for the enviroment than the wild boar centered diet.

Sure, how environmentally friendly a diet is hinges on the specifics of the diet. Vegan vs non-vegan is a largely meaningless distinction when it comes to the environment.

Right, that's called invasivore, and it can be pretty environmentally sustainable in the short term, however it's not *actually* sustainable as a food supply in that if you're doing it correctly you're working to eradicate the invasive species and return the original balance to the ecosystem. So invasivorism done right is always going to be a short term endeavor. Success means there are no more invasive species to eat, so you go vegan.

If you're limiting your hunting of the invasive species to avoid eradicating them so you can keep eating them, or even feeding or breeding them to keep them around to eat, then you're not an invasivore anymore... you're just a farmer, and that's far from sustainable in environmental terms.
