Peter Singer, father of the animal liberation movement, also now says that farming animals for food but giving them a good life "may be permissible":
More radically, Singer suggested that meat-eating may be permissible if “farms really give the animals good lives, and then humanely kill them, preferably without transporting them to slaughterhouses or disturbing them. In Animal Liberation, I don’t really say that it’s the killing that makes [meat-eating] wrong, it’s the suffering.”

Full disclosure: I have profound disagreements with Singer's utilitarian philosophy.
