In reality some do-some don't in the farming world. Have a buddy that goes through the sorrow every season when the time comes to thin the herd. Have others that have to qualms about doing the do, as it's just part of the cycle.
I used to hunt and grew up eating/hunting and stopped in 1979. We have friends that have offered-I'll come do it if you're not up to it. But I feel that if I have to do it-I can go through the process.
In my heart I know what they have consumed, and how they have lived, and that's one of the most important stages on what we consume.
Not a factory output meat-not a bird that is mass produced and force fed basically.
I know of a guy that raises chickens for KFC-use to do 65,000 in a 4 rotation per year. Grow the bird to 4.32lbs-then it was 3.86lbs gross weight.
Now that's growing a bird to a science-still he got paid for the 4.32 and saved feeding them when it was the less weight requirement.
So the next time you get a bucket-and it looks like a pigeon-you'll know why.
