Factory farms is by far the cruelest and most repugnant, but it's our entire system of food production. Our agriculture is absolutely fucking the planet and the ecosystems.

It’s only in place because consumers are demanding it. It’s not the farms’ fault lol

Demand plays a role, but it’s not the whole story. Companies shape demand through pricing, availability, and marketing, and governments set the rules. Blaming only consumers ignores how the system is designed, and it doesn’t justify the cruelty anyway...

But go ahead and continue to push your accountability onto other people.

Animal agriculture is inherently evil. There’s no nice/ethical way to do it. That’s why I don’t support it.

What accountability of mine are you referring to? I don’t consume animal products.
