They're usually shredded alive almost immediately because they're seen as "waste" since they don't lay eggs

That's a really embarrassing way to admit you don't understand basic statistics. Please never buy stocks.

I wonder if you actually read that page, particularly the part that says people don't even know what gives them the most utility and when it seems to be calculable they still make irrational choices.

your math doesn't dictate behavior.

When it's calculable? You mean like when it's a concrete number of deaths? Like what actually happens?

And "people don't always act as the math tells them to" isn't a counter argument. You may as well reply to me by saying "but your arguments are moot because reason doesn't dictate my behavior"

that is essentially what i'm saying. farmers are no more rational than i am. neither are abbatoir owers or their workers or meat packers or food suppliers or grocers or restauranteurs. your reasoning would hold up if they were rational actors, but they are not, so you argument crumbles.
