I have been thinking about this alot recently. Up until now I have always thought animals which will be eaten should be looked after in the right conditions and not treated badly
but now I am thinking they are a product which are going to die if looked after or not. Why waste extra money on them when they will just be killed and eaten? It is a life but they are below us in the food chain, so why shouldn't we farm them badly to our advantage because we are above them.
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!
