Yes. But it also affects all pigs at 96% of pig farms. Humans' rights to luxury meats should not exceed animals' rights to a humane existence.

- chomp 5y agoPork isn’t luxury, it’s really cheap. It’s almost in chicken territory with how cheap it is (where I live).
- duncanc4 5y agoIsn’t the reason it is cheap is because they have really horrible living conditions? Organic meat where the animals are treated properly is expensive.
- oliwarner 5y agoI was thinking more of bacon when I wrote that, but yes, pork is more staple. It doesn't change my opinion about the balance of rights though. As a sibling comment says, disadvantaged families could receive additional benefits to offset meat price rises. You could subsidise welfare improvements but pushing costs up has the benefit of allowing more environmentally beneficial alternatives to break through on value for all consumers.
