Animals used for transportation and labor are often shackled and beaten the duration of their short lives, worked until they’re too injured to continue, then slaughtered. Those raised solely for meat might have it comparatively easy.
- hannasanarion 7y agoThat's just not how labor animals work. Just like human laborers, animals need rest, and they're darn expensive. You can't drive your workhorse or your ox 24/7, it would die early and you would just be squandering your investment. For meat on the other hand, you can lock your cow or pig or chicken in a cage exactly the size of its body with no stimulation except the food being shoved down it's throat, it'll get fat and you can sell if for meat. There is no downside to mistreatment.
