      It's the same w/ pets. We don't tolerate people who abuse or kill pets. We prosecute them. The line btw "pet" & "farm animal" is arbitrary.

      I quite agree. I'm just not sure what to do about it. The option 'care for all animals as humans' isn't doable. Children are in poverty.

      We can & must insist that farm animals are not abused tho. Stronger penalties for those who do.

      What would you prefer if you were a pig? Never be born. Have a short happy life & die painlessly. Live & die like a wild animal w/out care?

      I'm not arguing for rescuing wild animals (right: priorities). If we breed animals, though, we should treat them as we would treat pets.

      So farmers wouldn't breed them. What would happen? We'd let those alive now live out their lives & then no more pigs, cows, chickens?

      Idk what the ethically optimal solution is. We've bred billions of lives for the sake of ending them prematurely. Farmers created this mess.

      I don't know either but I don't like the option 'never get to live' or 'suffer & die in the wild'. Humane farming seems better to me.

      Given that the option 'live out their entire lives provided with food, shelter & medical care, reproducing at will' isn't financially doable

      Once cultured meat becomes popular, do you think a law banning the killing of animals would be justifiable?

      It wouldn't make any difference to the problem at hand. Farm animals wld still exist &an ethical decision wld need to be made abt what to do
