While certainly not the majority, some livestock are actually treated quite well until the point of slaughter.
On the other side, many wild herbivores and prey animals live lives in an almost perpetual state of alertness and fear, just a moment away from being viciously torn apart and eaten alive.
- danielbln 4y agoAccording to the Humane Society of the United States, approximately 99% of chickens used for meat in the United States are raised in factory farms. According to the National Council for Animal Protection, over 99% of beef farmed for meat comes from cows that live in horrific factory farm environments. This doesn't necessarily clash with what you said, but I feel it bares pointing out that less than 1% of feedstock is NOT kept in conditions that perpetuate a state of fear and alertness (basically all factory farming is like that).
