It's the other way around for me. I raise my own chickens and rabbits for meat because it allows me to make sure the animals had a quality of life that surpasses industrial farming by quite a lot. The chickens also keep the back yard fairly free of bugs and flies while they ignore pollinating insects like bees and bumblebees. I eat less meat now since I don't really want to eat meat from the store anymore. Not only is the animals treated well (apart from the obvious killing part), but the quality of the meat is much higher, and obviously it's much fresher. Also, eggs. Lots of them.
