If I wasn’t clear, I’m claiming for the not so pretty side of the story to be told; people tend to romanticize everything, especially when it comes to animals.

I am not in favour, to any degree, to animals being mistreated and/or abused to any degree, regardless if those same animals are a food source.

Raising animals for food is not incompatible with caring and making all humanly possible efforts to assure the animals live a good life.
