Reply to comment by somekennyguy in TIL that a 26-story skyscraper pig farm was built in China's Hubei province, and has the capacity to slaughter 1.2 million pigs a year. by DukeMaximum
It's not like their lives are better elsewhere just because there are smaller buildings. In Canada, for example, the majority of breeding sows spend most of their lives in crates too small to turn around in. This isn't unique to Canada either.

Yeah, veganism is a moral baseline IMO. Nobody should be contributing to a system that causes this much suffering. It’s unfortunate, but animal agriculture is inherently animal abuse. If I wouldn’t want my dog to go through something, I don’t believe any animal should go through it.

Without industrial scale factory farming, meat would be an expensive luxury product. But maybe that's how it should be.
