I think the argument is that if you squeeze the meat industry they’re going to get even more desperate to cut costs at the expense of the animal’s welfare.

I don’t really buy it.

Correct, animal welfare in factory farms is already at an diabolical level.

You just have to ask yourself why AG-GAG laws exist.

Right which is why I don’t buy the argument that we can’t reduce people’s meat intake because then meat producers will be forced I tell you to treat their animals worse.
