      I mean they literally aren’t.

      They get food and shelter and aren’t aware of their end.

      Nature is fucking brutal. It’s survival in easy mode.

        You should do a little research about conditions on factory farms. I started raising our own cows and chickens because I didn’t want to contribute to that system financially any longer once I was educated about it. Still buy some meat I can’t raise myself from the store, but for the majority I know they aren’t overcrowded, arent given antibiotics or other drugs unless they’re actually sick, quality food, humane shelter and they aren’t slaughtered on site. For most livestock, their entire existence is suffering. Chicken have their beaks removed because they’ll attack each other over the overcrowding otherwise, cows and pigs stanfing in pens so small they can’t turn around, unethical slaughter practices, sometimes it’s just slitting the throat and letting them bleed out in site of other animals, etc.
