Livestock and pets aren't as healthy as you think they are. Their lives are better because they are protected from various factors like bad weather, lack of water or food, but they still need a vet or medicine (by the way, chicken used to have antibiotics in their diet). I doubt that they're in a better shape than a wild animal living in a good area. As an example I'll quote from an article [1] about the eggs from free-range hens with access to pasture: The "Mother Earth News" and SARE studies found that free-range eggs contained 67 percent and 40 percent more vitamin A, respectively, than conventional eggs (see References 2, pages 1 and 3). Free-range eggs contain more vitamin E than their conventional counterparts. The "Mother Earth News" survey found triple the vitamin E in the eggs they tested, and Pennsylvania State University research found double the vitamin E in the eggs of grass-fed hens (see References 2, pages 1 and 7). Though I agree that beating or at least improving J6Packs' average diet wouldn't be that hard.
