Same as anywhere else.
And yes the workers care.
Because if you fuck up and kill off the entire barn guess who has to clean out the entire barn?

Man, I’ve got lots of great vegetarian and vegan recipes but you lose out on a ton of culinary options when you remove meat from the equation. Seriously, I’ve never had a vegan taco that comes even close to replicating an authentic mexican taco.
The only ways you’re going to convince a majority of people to quit eating meat is if you can adequately provide alternatives. We’re slowly getting there, impossible burger does a pretty decent job at imitating ground beef, but it’s not cheaper, not yet. If we can nail lab-grown meat, it’ll be a perfect replacement, cleaner, cheaper, and better for the environment, and folks can enjoy all the various meat based dishes from the world over!

China imports a lot of pork , this facility might be a test run for industrial scale farming to cut out all imports of food
It's not about profit , it's about Strategic food security

Maybe not the comic strip but the TV specials were already pushing 30 years old at that point, and I’d reckon 95-100% of your classmates had seen those

Ganymede was a Trojan chap. As in many Greek stories the next step was "and then Zeus got horny".

Reply to comment by Sks44 in TIL Jason Everman, former Army Ranger and Green Beret, was Nirvana's original second guitarist and can even be seen on the Bleach cover, although he doesn't perform on the album. He later briefly joined Soundgarden as Hiro Yamamato's successor on bass. by Chrahhh
Well, he didn't like him, in fact neither did Chad Channing or Krist. He was more of a straight forward metal head. They basically kept him on because he had some money.

Without industrial scale factory farming, meat would be an expensive luxury product. But maybe that's how it should be.

Just eat plants lol? It's already here, already delicious, great for the environment, great for the animals, healthier for humans, almost definitely cheaper.

Incorrect. A farm like this will have major biosecurity procedures. Sick pigs don't grow fast.

That's no pig farm. It's a state sponsored brothel for the political elite.

Because hypocrites love double standards. Vegans get options according to their preferences, but as soon as it's a question of my preference they won't tolerate it at all. Just look at the response already.

He founded Mother McCree’s jug band with Jerry Garcia before they recruited others and changed their name to the Grateful Dead. He was the only one to not do drugs, but he died of liver failure from too much drinking at 27.

Oh, because I prefer meat from a slain animal. That's it really.
Objectively speaking it's no less valid than wanting meat from a fake animal. It's a distant, intangible, subjectively moral, but I bet as soon as the vegans have the high ground they'll pull up the ladder and demand better reasons than the same ones they've been using the entire time.
