Yes, thank you for making my point! When compared to the same animals living out their natural lives in a sanctuary, they’re only kept alive for a miniscule fraction of the time:
And looking at the conditions a vast majority of these animals are raised in, it’s hard to argue we’re doing them any favors.
no dairy cow would survive 20 years without shelter from the elements, protection from predators, veterinary care, ample food, and clean water. That’s not a natural lifespan. That’s an artificial lifespan.
Kind of a moot point since dairy cows, like the majority of animals raised for food, are man-made breeds and wouldn’t exist in the wild anyway. But you knew I meant when I said natural lifespan, as in how long they’d live if they weren’t killed as juveniles.

Anyhow, livestock is being killed well before they reach maturity. All for human pleasure.
pretty sure most livestock are slaughtered for money.
