      Doesn’t the video basically say that there is no “good”, but that at least getting to decent would be reasonably cheap? The video is only saying that there is no actual need for most of the torture since without it, prices would only go up to what our parents relatively paid for meat. No where in the video did they say any of the practices would bring farming up to a standard of living that the animals deserve, just not actively being tortured anymore. They actually specifically say many times that even the best practices are worse than the animals deserve.

        Death is still painful and premature death years before it would have occurred is still very bad for animals

            Nobody said they’re more evil? The point is they’re still bad and the solution isn’t “pay a little for family farmed” (both for animal welfare and environmental reason)

              Family farms are in the best position to pivot and react to new market demands, it’s where change will have to start.

                It’s a completely unsustainable model. Family farms are a perverse pastoral fetishization of animal cruelty that is incompatable with the fact of continuous population growth.

                  A farm can produce plants as well as animals - a fully plant based farm can also not be family owned and operated? I agree the world is concentrating into the hands of very few corporations, but I don’t welcome it.

                    Farmers who grow feed can also switch to growing food.

                    Slaughterhouses… maybe they can switch to growing fungi.
