As someone that grew up on a dairy ranch/farm, barbaric isn't something that springs to mind.
- PhasmaFelis 8y agoWas yours a fully industrialized factory farm? Family farms are a very different thing, and unfortunately they're a tiny minority in the industry at the moment.
- mitchty 8y agoFamily farm. I'd still consider it to be a part of the dairy industry however, we sold milk just like anyone else. There were a few bigger operations around, but they weren't much different.
- PhasmaFelis 8y agoI'm glad your local farms weren't like that, but there are mountains of evidence that the big factory farms that provide the vast majority of our animal products are barbaric. I'm not a vegetarian, so I can hardly judge anyone, but you really should look into the facts of modern factory farming and see for yourself.
