According to the National Council for Animal Protection, over 99% of beef farmed for meat comes from cows that live in horrific factory farm environments.

Does the remaining 1% matter all that much in the conversation?

Would you expect the National Council for Animal Protection to give you an unbiased figure?

I struggle with the concept of feedlot farming being morally acceptable at all. However, I've been on a number of beef farms in the UK and it's just not representative of how British beef is raised.

does the national council for animal protection sound like they do independent research?

That number is probably true for the USA only. GP specifically said:
