[QUOTE="devonian, post: 1810603, member: 38413"] I can only see this sentiment growing amongst the public as people do become more aware and concerned about where their food comes from and tbh having worked extensively in actual factory farm units for chicken and pigs I support the sentiment. I think grass fed beef is the gold standard for animal welfare across the entire sector, we don't have feedlots in the uk and I don't much care for them. The poultry industry has seen improvements but the pig industry worldwide is woeful in terms of animal welfare. Prisoners live a better lifestyle than commercially grown pigs and frankly its shameful and I hope that part of the industry moves closer towards how the beef sector operates going forward. I've grown pigs outdoors in small paddocks where they can express there natural behaviour and the pigs are x10 happier having the space to move around in the sunlight and fresh air digging the soil wallowing and wagging their tails people and tell me the meat beats the pants off anything in the supermarket. I say lets phase out factory farming before the public rejects or the government outlaws it and stay above the curve. [/QUOTE]
