What country are you in where they're building giant sheds to hide cows from the sky? I doubt there's been a single cow in my home country of Australia that has been grown for food or milk and didn't see the sky nearly every day of its life. Even our largest factory dairy farms only only bring cows inside for milking. The closest thing to living indoors would be man-made outdoor shade.
I'm not saying that the entire animal food industry is humane; I would be very happy to see a permanent end to caged egg production, as well as the bullshit ultra-factory "cage free" egg production. There's a lot to be concerned about and we need much better standards across the entire industry. It can be improved. But all too often the descriptions of the animal food industry are just so divorced from reality that one wonders if some vegan activists have ever actually visited a farm.

In recent years there is more political attention to change the horrible system, but nitrate emissions on nature, threats for disease are more prominent motives. Animal well-being maybe comes third in that. We have a "Partij voor de Dieren" political party (Party for the Animals) with seats in parliament.
