    And how many percentage of all livestock do you think is “free range” like the cows you describe?

    Estimates vary from 80% to 99% are factory farmed. Which means majority of meat anyone is eating is factory farm. Unless you can verify the source of your meat yourself, you most likely are eating tortured animals.

    So this whole argument that I have friends and family that care for their livestock like it’s their kids is the misrepresentation since, it maybe true that you know someone that is treating animals humane, it doesn’t represent majority.

      Estimates with numbers like 80% and 99% are just made up on the spot. I estimate 99% of the world knows that.
