Sounds like an easy life. Not. Ask dialysis patients how much they like it.

I'm an unapologetic omnivore but I'm sensitive to animal suffering. Properly
raised livestock have a pretty good life: all of their needs are taken care
of and they're protected from disease and predators. Their deaths can and
should be quick and painless, and they owe their very existence to their
production of food for humans.
