I would mostly agree, but I think there's a big difference in how people would farm for themselves or on a small scale versus commercial mega-farming.
My current home is in a rural area where pretty much everyone has at least
some farm animals. Horses, chickens, sheep, cows, llama, ducks, etc. There's one married couple who are friends of my family, and they raise turkeys. Even though every year they raise those turkeys to be slaughtered, they actually refuse to eat meat from stores because of how those animals get treated.
Rather than those farms where the animals are packed indoors so close together they can't even move, they have their turkeys free range, and only raise as many as they can actually take care of.
