Industrial meat farms need to go, yes. Oddly, it is much more humane to completely automate slaughterhouses as long as regulations prevent cutting corners in designing systems or using "cheaper" (which I doubt actually is) methods. The process is like a purposefully-lethal lobotomy, which sounds awful but it means the death is quick and 100% painless for the poor animal.
That, and it has been shown through actual medical studies AND an actual child abuse case in the US that children cannot receive enough protien to live/grow only from soy and/or beans; you will starve a child if you do not feed them meat (assuming they've begun eating solids).
If there's anything else to say, I do not condone eating veal or lamb. Seriously, it's a baby animal. Just don't.
Well, it's not the slaughtering part that really bugs me.
Is that the animals live in super small spaces, anxious 100% of their lives.
I'm not as bothered by eating an animal that has been free for all it's life and had the unfortunate pleasure of being the one culled, but I do mind eating a cow that's been powerraped and milked for 5 years until exhaustion and then put to slaughter. Just tastes worse to begin with.
Same with lamb. I tried it once, but I'm pretty sure I could just taste the cruelty through and I've not had any since. Although it might be mutton shares the same taste but I'm not too bothered to find out as being allergic to cruelty sounds better than not enjoying mutton.
