I welcome all companies that sell meat to publish videos of their operations. I would really like to buy meat only from companies that minimize the suffering of the livestock. Do you have any preferred livestock vendors that document their supply chain?
- protomyth 8y agoI cannot imagine its economical for anyone in South Dakota to have these "factory farms".
- mcculley 8y agoWhat do you mean? Do you think "factory farms" are less capital efficient than farms that would try to minimize suffering?
- deadmetheny 8y agoIf you take a car trip anywhere outside the major city centres of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, etc (and from what I hear, Texas) you'll inevitably see many, many head of cattle milling about in fields. I would put forth that no farmers really want to mistreat their animals, and will go at great lengths to keep them as safe as they can - this year's cyclone blizzard in Nebraska was especially indicative of this[0]. Farmers generally don't have a complete supply chain anyway - they sell their animals at the stockyard to whichever packing plant is buying them.

- mcculley 8y agoI don't think farmers really want to mistreat their animals. It is apparent that some farms put profit ahead of suffering. I would like to be able to look up a brand of meat in the grocery store and have them document how they take care of the animal. I would like to be able to make an informed decision in the marketplace. Saying it is impossible because farmers don't manage their supply chain is a way of answering my question.
