food, protection from predators, protection from the elemnts, and veterinary care is not abusive. i would describe it as "symbiotic".
You think any animal would choose this "safety" for beeing killed after a max of 1/10 of their lifespan? I wont even start about the living conditions most animals are in. For sea animals also nothing of your arguments holds true and we kill a fuckton of those.
You know its one thing to contribute to suffering because change is hard. Pretending this is something symbiotic is ridicoulus though.
i don't know of any animal killed at 1/10 of their lifespan.
So i guess you tried really hard to google? A good example might be cows. Beef cattle is slaughtered on average between 1.5 to 2 years after birth and would be able to live for over 20 years. Pigs also live 15 to 20 years but are slaughtered after 6 months. So great thanks for that symbiotic relationship they can witness up to two whole seasons (provided they are one of the "lucky" ones that are raised outside). It is kinda telling how much the average consumer knows about the "products" they consume.
