You haven't seen how factory farms work then, which is good for your mental health probably, but you should really take time to understand the actual problems and serious it is.

The conditions that most animals live in is horrifying and they suffer a great deal before butchering, and the butchering process is often flawed and has tons of problems, with wide-scale reports of abusive conditions and botched kills, to say nothing of the massive amount of mental and physical harm it does to the people who's job it is to kill thousands of living beings every day.

You don't have to give up meat, but at the very least consider buying local from non-industrial farms.

factory farms

We don't have that around here.

Lucky for you, that's always a good thing... but that's also kind of the idea, they don't build them everywhere, they build a few massives ones to "process" animals on an industrial scale, so it still ends up in your local grocery store, which is why it's worth taking a minute to check where they get their meat and dairy.
