Unless you are a vegan, you are just as much a monster as the lion-killing dentist

most food animals are killed at less than one year and cattle, which are older than a year, in general do not spend their entire lives in a feedlot so unless being raised on pasture with their mothers and herdmates is considered "suffering(ing) horribly for years" they do not suffer for years. that would be some shitty meat.

whether you consider feedlots good or bad, they may "suffer" for an average of 140 days of standing around eating free choice amounts of feed. if you ever visit a feedlot and know anything about cattle (which I do since I raise them), they don't seem to be suffering greatly. yes there are problems and the diet is not all that natural for a grass eating animal but the image some activists project is not reality.

note: I am not fully condoning feedlots or other CAFO practices but I do have some familiarity with them. if you want to educate people about what you don't like about something it is kind of important to be at least a little bit accurate otherwise your credibility comes into question and people tend to stop believing anything you say.
