> I just wish there was a way to buy meat from animals that hadn’t been systematically tortured for their short life

A good portion of the meat I consume comes off my own land, mostly as venison although a little bit of turkey too. It tastes better than farmed meat, it's cheaper, it helps keep the animals from overpopulating, and the animal didn't live a miserable life of torture before it was harvested.

But I get that not everybody lives in an area where that is practical.
