(5,562 posts)Modern cruel factory farm practices where animals live crowded in filth, fattened on unnatural food and drugs, and basically tortured at the end of their miserable lives to end up on a supermarket shelf diminish the people who ingest them as food. If you are eating meat and buying out of a grocery store, this is the meat you are eating.
My father used to hunt moose in order to feed the family when we needed meat. My mother used to put a net in the water and pull out wild salmon. We also had chickens and sometimes pigs. All animals, wild and domesticated lived good lives, were appreciated and treated humanely.
I assure you, my parents never had an "urge to kill". They did however have an urge to feed their kids healthy food even when they were broke.
