On a related note, it’s worth mentioning that factory farming is the vast majority of global meat, dairy, egg, etc, production We estimate that over 90% of farmed animals globally are living in factory farms at present. This includes an estimated 74% of farmed land animals (vertebrates only) and virtually all farmed fish.[1]  sentienceinstitute.org/global-animal-farming-esti… We estimate that 99% of US farmed animals are living in factory farms at present. By species, we estimate that 70.4% of cows, 98.3% of pigs, 99.8% of turkeys, 98.2% of chickens raised for eggs, and over 99.9% of chickens raised for meat are living in factory farms. Based on the confinement and living conditions of farmed fish, we estimate that virtually all US fish farms are suitably described as factory farms, though there is limited data on fish farm conditions and no standardized definition.[1] Land animal figures use data from the USDA Census of Agriculture[2] and EPA definitions of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations.[3] sentienceinstitute.org/us-factory-farming-estimat…

    That’s why I prefer New Zealand or Australian lamb. Just lamb living their best lamb lives out on pastures. Can’t wait for deer season this year so I can restock on venison.
