Most U.S. Dairy Cows Are Descended From Just Two Bulls

Almost everything you listed in your opening post is all but completely absent here in cattle production, including soy, corn, hormones, antibiotics, and I could bet cows here don't descend from the same bulls either.

So yes, your little vegan rant is a thing of the US.

Of course, there are factory farms in Europe. Less than in the US, but on the rise and only getting worse https://www.greenpeace.org/eu-unit/issues/nature-food/1923/f...

Especially for things like chickens and pork, they are prevalent, but also for cows.

Of course, a large portion of European cattle is fed grain rations. Europe is literally covered with feed crops.

This argument that you hear a lot online as "it's a thing of the US" is just not true.
