Regardless of whether the data, findings, implications, etc. are interesting, in ‚beauty‘ terms these are some of the average-est graphs I’ve seen…

Interesting how so many oppose the practices but are able to distance the meat from the practice. I guess it’s mostly deliberate ignorance, but I do find it fascinating

So in principle they oppose animal cruelty, but they’ll happily stuff their face with cheese, eggs and hamburger.

Most people are blissful with the idea that farm animals are out froilicking around on a grassy pasture.
But few like that – if that were the standard that all farm animals must be raised, then a pound of ground beef would be $75.

Many people are social justice and morality warriors when it doesn’t inconvenience them or affect their lifestyle.
The amount of people who love animals and are against animal cruelty but then go out for a McDonald’s cheeseburger show the mass hypocrisy. Some of the ignorance is by design from the companies, but a lot of it’s willfully ignoring the situation too by these people.

Wow loaded questions much? “is it ok to kill a new born chick with gas or a meat grinder”. You might be fine with euthanasia by gas (painless) and not even remotely ok with death by meat grinder, but that distinction is not made.
Also most of the questions are like this.

OP Thank you for bringing attention to this! Such a crisis of our time

If you’ve never seen images of a clear-cut forest or a factory chicken farm, that ain’t an accident.
Profit isn’t just king, profit is lord and savour.

Some of these are quite misleading, but I can only speak to the cattle questions. No one crushes testicles to steer, everyone bands. I don’t know anyone thats removing horns with a hot iron though I suppose some folks might in other countries. Your beef breeds mostly have all been polled through breeding or you can trim the horns quite low if they’re causing problems. Maybe there are some dairies that are culling male calves but all the ones around me will sell them, they’re not great for beef but they’re good enough that people take them.

Holy loaded questions OP, gonna acknowledge that bias? Especially egregious given many of these have little to no basis in actual common commercial practices …. they may as well just have asked „do you support arbitrary animal cruelty?“ given how remote they are to how the vast majority of animals are treated.

Not so much of a fun fact: Most farming is done in abusive and inhumane factory farms. Look it up, it’s insanely disturbing.

The article only goes over the US and the UK. And the graphs aren’t even formatted the same.
I guess survey’s worldwide show that animals don’t exist outside of the Anglosphere.
Otherwise they article is OK, it basically just says that people find factory farming morally unacceptable, but they still eat meat anyways

Many people find industrial animal husbandry horrific. However, they don’t find it so horrific that they are willing to eat less meat or to pay $50/lbs for a pork roast instead of $10/lbs.
Or they are so ignorant that they don’t actually know where the food at the grocery store comes from.

I’m all for humane treatment of animals but unless you want food prices to go up even further and become even scarcer, there’s no solution here.
