Do you think animals raised for food in Europe/the UK are treated well? In the US, their lives are far from ideal or idyllic.

No. I think that's a very serious issue & there needs to be stronger regulations & harsher penalties for breaking them.

I wouldn't have said that we needed to fix this if I didn't think it needed fixing.

If we only produced and ate "happy meat," it would become much scarcer & more expensive. People might realize cheap meat depends on cruelty.

Yes, exactly! Meat would become a delicacy. Provision for alternative sources of cheap protein for poorer people would need to be made

But that's the thing. We have this situation already today. We do have alternative (& cheap) sources of protein. So why breed more animals?

We're back to the original problem. Do I take it you are in favour of farm animals not getting to live at all?

I think we should stop breeding farm animals ASAP. The living? 1) returned to wild 2) taken as pets & if not 1 or 2, then 3) killed humanely

Right. Would this reduce animal death and suffering at all or would it just absolve ourselves of responsibility for it and for them?

Obviously if they never get to live, they never die but is dying so awful it's better never to live? If death can be without pain or fear?

I honestly don't know what a pig would say if it could be made temporarily capable of considering the options. I only know what I would say.
