As a Swedish dairyfarmer: sure, there are bad apples everywhere. But the majority of us loves our animals and if they don’t get treated well they don’t produce well.
But we need you consumers to help. Visit farms when possible, buy local or at least farmer-owned brands with high standards. Show that you care, vote in the EU election. etc.
From global estimates
It’s estimated that three-quarters – 74% – of land livestock are factory-farmed

Combine land animals and fish, and the final estimate comes to 94% of livestock living on factory farms.

The meme specifies “industrial”. I don’t think any industrial farmer has any love for their animals.
Industry and industrial aren’t the same. The animal industry includes local farms, since they are part of the sector/industry. Industrial farms/factories are a subsector of the industry, the ones that are the actual cancer on society.
But the majority of us loves our animals
And when the milk production drops, the vast majority of dairy cows get their throat slit and their bodies sold for profit. I surely wouldn’t treat those that I love that way, but I guess animal farmers just have a very different concept of “loving animals” compared to people who have pets, for example.
Don’t you mean “exits” the building?
Was thinking more about cameras from journalists or other organizations
Their ads usually don’t show them inside even when they live there
Bringing up a Tyson competitor, the farm manager wonders how other poultry companies handle supposedly free-range-raised chickens. The short answer: They don’t, really.
“Those birds don’t go outside — you know that,” the technician replies. “They don’t all go out … Look that up online.”
The manager chimes in: “It’s not like they make it like all of ’em come out and enjoy the sun.”
“That is strictly for commercial [advertising] purposes,” the technician says. “They pick the prettiest birds [for commercials] and they toss ’em out in the grass.”
A bunch of fucking asshats operating on dumb shit like “Perception is reality.”
No, you’re still torturing and abusing animals, you sick fucks.
*Slaps forehead* now I get it.
