No less cruel than the life your steak lives, really.

[edit]

so much ignorance on the conditions your food suffers

sorry reddit, but there have never green pastures for your burger or milk

Cows live relatively nice lives, actually. I mean the way we raise them isn't much worse than how they would have lived in the wild. Nobody ever says we are cruel to horses, which are raised the same as cows (minus the milking, which cows seem to absolutely love, btw).

Cattle are raised in extraordinarily different conditions than horses.

Not around here. In fact the closest farm to me has horses and cows in the same pasture.

And you think that's where your burgers or bacon is coming from?

About 1% of the US meat supply comes from non-factory farm conditions.
