I think most of what Greenpeace does is on the ocean, not the land where trees are usually found. Trees are plants, not animals, there are different groups to protect those. Also, cheese comes from enslaved bovines, so it’s not anything an animal welfare group would want to encourage.

The bovines are not enslaved. They just don’t have Visas required to visit greener pastures. I’ve herd they have connections with the Kurds so are on the USDA watch list.
