34430 Y92 What makes the fate of domesticated farm

Q&@
ANIMALS
PARTICULARLY HARSH
IS NOT JUST THE WAY THEY DIE,
BUT ABOVE ALL THE WAY THEY LIVE.

Two competing factors have shaped the living conditions of farm animals
from ancient times to the present day: human desires & animal needs......

Thus humans raise pigs in order to get meat, but if they want a steady supply of meat,
they must ensure the long-term survival & reproduction of the pigs. Theoretically this should have
protected the animals from extreme forms of cruelty. If a farmer did not take good care of his pigs,
they would soon did without offspring and the farmer would starve. Unfortunately, humans can also
cause tremendous suffering to farm animals in various ways, even while ensuring their survival and
reproduction. The root of the problem is that domesticated animals have inherited from their wild
ancestors many physical, emotional & social needs
that are redundant on human farms.

Farmers routinely ignore these needs,
without paying any economic penalty. They lock animals in very tiny
cages, mutilate their horns & tails, separate mothers from offspring & selectively breed all kinds of
monstrosities?! The animals suffer greatly,
yet they live on ànd multiply!?

Doesn't that contradict the most basic principles
of natural selection? The theory of evolution maintains that all instincts,
drives & emotions have evolved in the sole interest of survival & reproduction!
If só, doesn't the continuous re-production of farm animals
prove that all their real needs are met?
How can a pig have a 'need'
that is not really needed for
his/her survival and
reproduction?
