Animals in the wild are free, yes there are many dangers lurking around, but mostly they are free.

Animals in factory farms are not free and grow up suffering and the slaughter isn't humane at all.

So taking your mode of thinking, which one would you choose:

A) Mostly a free life out in nature with a potential painful death

B) Miserable life in factory farms where you go crazy with a painful death

Also, if there wouldn't be this insane level of demand for animal meat, we wouldn't have to breed animals.

And we are worse than the polar bear. Animals are being abused, mutilated tortured on a regular basis. Plus all the other damage our meat addiction causes, i.e. destruction of our biosphere and degrading working conditions for people having to work in those factory farms or slaughter houses.
