This is mind-boggling. My scepticism about progress just ratcheted up a notch.
The forces against changing this are vastly powerful too. My chosen supplier of 'ethical beef' (slaughtered in the animal's home field at very small scale) just went into administration. The market for cheap unhappy flesh is hard to reform.

Great piece, thanks.

But yeah if we were torturing 32,000,000,000 babies/year that would also be pretty bad.
