Interesting. If all animals currently consumed would be treated like that - then yes suffering overall would be reduced. But it's not realistic to feed the world with these farming methods. And 'ethical farming' is not without cruelty. Cruelty is still applied at the end. And I wouldn't call it a fair trade either. These cows are being bred because we want to eat them. If there wasn't a demand then the cow on the ethical farm wouldn't exist or experience cruelty. Animals in nature are free and yes are being hunted by other animals who need to eat other animals to survive. It's the nature of things. Most of humanity don't need to eat meat anymore and hence have the choice of not causing suffering or being cruel.
