Thanks for the link.

I am mostly aware of how bad farming is in regards of how animals are treated or what effect it can have on the surrounding environment. My entry to this rabbit hole was the huge pig shit lakes near some of the most industrialized pig farms. From there there is no illusion that most research would go into more 'humane' treatments, but at the same time there is a strong enough incentive to have balanced medication to keep the animals alive while leaving as few substances in the meat as possible.

I'm not sure that research is moral or goes in the right direction, but I just suppose there is a decent amount of it given the scale of the market.
