As a rural banker, I go out on farm visits all the time. I see plenty of cattle operations, where the farmer treats their cattle better than some people treat their children. However the cattle are their livelihoods, and eventually they have to sell some to slaughter in order to earn a living.
Its ridiculous and for that matter wrong, to suggest that the majority of livestock operations are at all like the one that is shown in the video posted by dissentower.

So do you visit factory farms often or small independently run cattle operations? Because the majority of meat is produced at factory farms where the livestock is generally mistreated. I would say that the majority of smaller independent cattle farms do treat their cattle well except for the whole murder part.
