For starters don't compare factory farming to lions. Lions don't know how to kill humainly because they are not human also lions do not force bread there prey into large quantities and keep them in cages. Lions do not kill for any other value than to survive. Also we do not need to buy as much meat as we do.
Also I think it is important that you understand that although we are an animal we are not primitve and we KNOW how to kill humainley so why don't we? It just seems stupid to go oh but a lion kills it's prey this way. Again we are not like any other animal we can look after our animals until the time is right to slaughter them and we can do so humainly.
The amount of food we waste in this country shows that we do not need to buy the amount of meat that we do.
Sorry if I have repeated myself a lot but that is what I need you to understand.

Okay, explain to me how to kill humanely.
Should we give a prayer? And offer it to the gods before we stab it with a knife? Should to do that to all of the billions of cows and chickens that Americans eat a year?
I'm not saying that because lions do it, we should too. We're human. I understand we're a level above all other living creatures. But because we're a level above mere animals, we have many things creatures of the wild don't. We're human. We have an emotional attachment to living things. Lions on the other hand, have one thing on their mind, survival. That's why they don't have pets. I just don't understand the emotional connection associated with killing an animal. We have animals and we take care of them, because we're human we will develop an attachment to the creature and then we go ahead to kill it. How does that make sense? It's like killing a pet. I'd rather have no emotional attachment to my food.
I'm sure the people who buy food and throw it away weren't thinking they're going to waste food on purpose. It probably went bad and they can't eat it anymore. Do you think they enjoy wasting food and wasting their money? I don't think so.
Besides, it their money. They'll do what they want with it. You want to spend your money on "humanely killed" meat products and they want to spend it on something else. Let them be.
When I say humanly killed I mean quick and painless not slitting there throat and letting them bleed out while they squirm. Also looking after your animals means the quality of the meat will be better when slaughtered. Yes people are aware and they do hate wasting food but when saying that it does not make sence for them to suddenly say oh we can not aford the free range stuff when they clearly could they just don't know how to manage there money properly.
Also yes people can do what ever they want with there money I am just saying buy the quality not the quantity stop animal cruelty. The sad fact is people are greesy and selfish they always have an excuse oh to much money everyone will starve what about world hunger. I promise you that keeping factory faming is not going to cure world hunger and I know taking it away won't either. But the overall fact is taking it away will reduce animal cruelty and increase the quality of meat. Like I have said lots of times we have to much of a high demand for meat why can't people have vegetables some every now and then what is the harm in that?
Also don't mistake me for saying go vegeterian I am saying people need to start learning more about what meat they are eating. Can you honestly say to me that you don't think there is anything wrong with factory farming?
