Farm animals are bred by humans, not taken from the wild, so you wouldn't be introducing any new animals to the wild, to "deal with brutality". You'd simply not bred new animals to live in farms.
Also, I think even small family farms practice male chick culling, so it's not really a great status quo.
- jakear 5y agoRight, instead of a large biomass of generally happy “farmed” animals you have a small biomass of incredibly stressed “natural” animals. It’s not obvious to me that that’s as clear of a win as vegans would have me believe.
