Is that so? Then why hasn't it been done yet?
I think you misunderstood what I was saying.
It hasn't been done yet because people still buy inhumanely raised meat.

And I agree. The difference is, the knowledge of which companies mistreat animals is widely known. The choice to buy humanely raised meat is available to nearly everyone.
If there wasn't any other choice, or if the knowledge wasn't there, it would be a different story. But both of those things are available.
It's a slippery slope. We are all connected. So, IMO, the best way to proceed is to raise animals your way, and be happy that it is enough. Cuz if you ain't happy, you ain't helping the world's happiness meter.
