We haven't remotely tried alternatives, and the main arguments for retaining factory farming seem to be "I'm entitled to eat meat because I like it and pay for it" and perhaps "there are too many moving parts to just stop with no consequences", which I don't find convincing. Even if the process of fixing it is also subject to the rule, so we can't just cut jobs immediately, I think the main obstacle is that there simply isn't the collective will to change.
