Torture

Torture is the infliction of severe physical pain, psychological pain, and possibly injury to a person or other living being on purpose. In most cases, the victim is restrained and unable to resist the violence of the perpetrator. Torture has been used and continues to be used by individuals, organizations, and governments, regardless of numerous governments' and international organizations' laws opposing torture. This is because there are numerous motives for torture such as: punishment, revenge, political re-education, deterrence, interrogation or coercion of the victim or a third party, or simply the sadistic gratification of those carrying out or observing the torture.

2nd Answer:

No. But far too many raise the animals in ways that keep their muscles from developing which means not allowing the animal to live normally. It's an ethical problem for many of us: stop eating meat because of how the animal is raised or buy meat from producers who respect the animals and their natural environment. Killing the animal and producing cuts of meat should be done in the most sensitive way possible. Humans are omniverous. We were designed to eat both vegetables and meat. But we also care about the treatment of these beasts that give us food. Personally, I give most (not all but most) of my meat business to companies that raise beef and chicken in an open range and that do not add hormones or antibiotics to the animals' feed. I won't eat veal because of how young calves are kept in order to tenderize the veal meat and I won't eat chicken that wasn't raised in a cage-free, open range environment. You can find these producers if you look; the price per pound is higher but it's worth the extra effort.
