Hundreds of billions of livestock are kept in torturous conditions every year. Dominion, Land of hope and glory, Earthlings.
1-3 trillion fish are kept in torturous conditions every year on factory farms.
in torture, the point is to cause pain. the pain incurred by animals in agriculture is incidental. it's not the point of the practice. if there were some other options that were just as cost effective or cheaper, farmers would use them.
Actually, torture is a method by which people advance their goals. For example, you might torture someone to extract information. The point of the practice is to extract information, not necessarily cause pain. It just so happens that torture was the method they deemed most effective.
Have anything intelligent to say or are you just going to keep saying stupid shit?
