> Animals in factory farms are subject to a very painful existence before their lives are cut short
Well, as someone with family members in farming - AND a cynic who dislikes causing animals to suffer unnecessarily - for the most part this is utter bullshit. Slaughtering is highly regulated (at least here in the UK) and is designed to cause very little suffering to the animal.
- techiferous 17y agoI'm talking about the conditions that they are subject to while they are alive as well. As I understand it, many chickens are kept penned in a cage the size of a piece of notebook paper, male baby chicks are ground up alive, etc. I am interested in more accurate information about factory farms, so please share it if you have it.
- ErrantX 17y agoOh I see your point. Well conditions on facorty farms are.. Worse but not quite like the picture your painting. I don't really agree with the way factory farms operate but regualations are forcing them to improve. I don't think Im qualified to comment on animals suffering in those conditions. I've never researched it fully. This isn't really the sort of place for this discussion - in hindsight.
