> Animals in factory farms are subject to a very painful existence before their lives are cut short
Well, as someone with family members in farming - AND a cynic who dislikes causing animals to suffer unnecessarily - for the most part this is utter bullshit. Slaughtering is highly regulated (at least here in the UK) and is designed to cause very little suffering to the animal.
I'm talking about the conditions that they are subject to while they are alive as well. As I understand it, many chickens are kept penned in a cage the size of a piece of notebook paper, male baby chicks are ground up alive, etc. I am interested in more accurate information about factory farms, so please share it if you have it.
Oh I see your point. Well conditions on facorty farms are.. Worse but not quite like the picture your painting. I don't really agree with the way factory farms operate but regualations are forcing them to improve.
I don't think Im qualified to comment on animals suffering in those conditions. I've never researched it fully.
This isn't really the sort of place for this discussion - in hindsight.
