Why do you keep animals on farms?

Answer 1

Farm animals are slaughtered for the meat. If we didn't slaughter animals there would be no meat on earth. No offence but, animals like cows and pig are pretty stupid. They don't really know the difference between life and deth. There are so many cows and pigs we don't know what to do with them. if we didn't kill them for meat they would get over populated. That's why we slaughter farm animals.

Answer 2

For better management purposes. You can't raise animals properly or in a "controlled environment" if they're let out into the wild. Some animals need to be kept on farms for easier handling and collecting of by products like eggs from chickens and milk from dairy cows. Tender meat also comes from animals that haven't had far to travel and food is literally put right under their noses. So it just makes things easier to raise, feed, manage and harvest animals when they're confined to a predefined area.

Answer 3
