General Discussion
Yeah, maybe the answer is to stop eating meat and just drink protein shakes or some synthetically produced meat (if/when it's available). I eat meat, but it's probably wrong to do so. The general consensus is that animal welfare is important, let's keep improving animal welfare standards and laws.
Seems like many millions to make commodities' lives slightly less sh1t than they already are before they're murdered.
End the use of cages and crates for all farmed animals debate. Another good debate and I learnt quite a lot from the expertise of the speakers. This is a complex issue.

From millions of laying hens unable to express their natural behaviours to mother pigs nursing their piglets confined in narrow crates, to calves, quail and game birds. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cdp-2025-0121/ ...
@Steve Wow! Where did that come from?
@1263 , DAC is a libellous troll. It's best to ignore it.
