This question is asking primarily for opinion, not fact. There are many opinions and beliefs about eating meat that range from those that say yes (primarily from vegans and animal-rights activists) to those who strongly believe that it is not cruel but a part of life.


Opinion from an Omnivore:

No. Unlike what the answerer below mentioned, much of the meat that is produced comes from animals that have been cared for and treated as humanely as possible before being slaughtered for meat. The processes described below are not chronic pain issues, but practices that make it safer for those handling them and the other animals around them due to their confinement. Many of them are not raised so that they recieve "massive doses of hormones and antibiotics," quite frankly a lot of the animals raised so that they need such things are not given such products only if it's needed, which makes the integrity of the fact below questionable at best. Also, many animals that are raised for meat are not raised in "factory farm" conditions, but are raised as "free-range" or in as natural conditions as a farm can provide, with the best health care, feed and housing that can be made available and that those animals need.


A basis of understanding of how animals truly judge how their living conditions affect their quality of life cannot go to a shallow human mindset. Many animals that are raised in cages or stalls know that's the best and safest place to live, because they have no idea what life is like outside of that and quite frankly are scared when subject to such a drastic change. A person can call such confined living conditions whatever they want, but it does not provide an answer as to what's really going through an animal's head as it lives in such conditions. That is not to say that truly terrible living conditions are adequate, it's just to say that confined animal feeding operations have their place no matter what agenda those groups that oppose such operations have for such operations.


Another Opinion:Yes.Approximately 58 billion land animals are killed each year on farms. Most of these animals are raised in extremely confiningconditions, including battery cages, gestation crates and veal crates, in order to maximize profit.Animals in these confined conditions receive massive doses of hormones and antibiotics, and they undergo cruel debeaking tail docking, and castration, without anesthesia. The animals spend their entire lives in these miserable conditions until they are slaughtered at just a fraction of their natural lifespan.
