you seemed to have missed the industrial part of the original comment. there is a reason you haven't waltzed into the horrible facilities that end up in documentaries, etc., to include: they are not approved on any non-cable network due to gore etc., not approved on Facebook, YouTube ToS (graphic violence), ag-gag laws, and so forth. you are not invited.

and let's not kid ourselves - with 50+ /billion/ land animals killed per year, almost all of which are factory farmed, the idea that joe farmer is going to pick up the tab with his 100 chickens isn't realistic, or that joe hunter is going to make a dent in that number.

as far as animals dying when crops are harvested, yeah, we can and should do better. at least they weren't castrated without anesthesia or lived their entire lives in gestation crates or getting inseminated (pigs), beak shaved off (chickens), or eyes cut off so they grow faster (crustaceans). the suffering isn't comparable; comparing it as such is asinine.
