excellent post & mirrors my views/practices. an additional argument for humane husbandry is: if you think their lives have positive value (i.e. their existence is ceteris paribus good) then humane husbandry allows for the existence of more animals than would otherwise exist. they would not exist without the demand for them & the demand comes from their meat. this implies that eating the meat of animals raised well is not neutral, it is good. it will cause more of them to exist & live flourishing lives in their context.

Good article. Although I do still struggle with it emotionally as an animal lover, I only eat wild game I hunted my self. Wrote a piece on it: https://open.substack.com/pub/brandonmcmurtrie/p/is-hunting-wrong?r=1kxn90&utm_medium=ios
