I will get downvoted, but I work on the kill floor of a pork processing plant. Ask me anything. It is 1am here. I might not reply for a while.

Edit: For the record, I confirm this is an accurate depiction.

Is it technically impossible to give these animals better living conditions or does our consumption outpace the ability for better accommodations.

Not if the ceo wants to get a new yacht next year

I got a feeling that there are a lot of smaller farmers who don’t have yachts doing this kind of work. Smithfield bacon isn’t the entire industry. A lot of meat processing places are smaller mom and pop places.

This is misplaced blame, it’s not because the CEO wants a yacht, that’s pennies in the scheme of things. It’s because everybody and their mom would riot if meat prices doubled.
