But pigs are still crated in the US and suffer terribly, and cruel farming practices with "conventional" food animals are still commonplace. Some people eat meat, thinking that the animal has been painlessly and considerately killed in an abattoir. This is not the case. Most abattoir workers are on production bonuses and cut a lot of corners, resulting in horrific pain and suffering to the animals.
