Eating the meat is the end of a process that most people don't get have a chance to actually look at. Some of those factory farming companies have actively lobbied to make it illegal to take pictures while trespassing for reasons. And I mean, trespassing is already a problem, but making a specific law
That being said. I don't have an issue with both hunters and smaller farmers who have animals out in a field that are to be used for the purposes of eating. Since we've removed so many predators of deer, culling them is as much for their own benefit as it is for our own meat eating wants. Unchecked they literally overpopulate so hard they run out of food and then start dying off to starvation.
Of course, I'm personally hoping that lab grown meats are sustainable enough that they'll take over the meat industry as it currently stands.
