I know most people will say they should be treated well but what are your thoughts on this?

Thats like saying we should lock you in a cupboard for your life... doesnt matter, you are going to die anyway! Let them enjoy what life they get! Remember these are not objects, they are not like apples, they are living breathing animals. Would you shove your dog in a cage and watch it waste away slowly and say "Oh well it will die eventually"
I extremely strongly disagree with your opinion.
Also I agree with the above, "A happy cow is a tasty cow" Very true... free range animals have been proven to taste nicer, stronger muscles... juicier meat!
