They don't have to be tortured, some studies have shown that that actually might reduce the quality of the meat. I have a lot of laments and disagreements with the meat industry, and my family and I try to avoid meat that was raised in factories or otherwise terrible conditions whenever we can. But that has nothing to do with the basic principle of consuming meat which you are against. Example: when somebody goes hunting, the animal they kill lived its entire life wonderfully in nature and was only in pain for the last few minutes or so. Certainly less time than had it been killed by literally any other predator, because they have teeth and claws and we have the merciful gun. Then that animal may be used thoroughly to provide for the family of the man that killed it, and its removal from its population will aid in reducing overpopulation, which is now the responsibility of the human race because we are the ones who wiped out most natural predators. Hunting seasons are planned at specific times of year with specific limits in order to keep wildlife populations at an optimal level, otherwise the ecosystem will crash and burn and animals will starve. Undoubtledly a worse fate than being shot in the head, and inevitable unless we hunt.
In a world of only vegans, the natural world will turn upside down, men will have significantly decreased testosterone, and the domesticated cow will either go extinct or be replaced by an invasive feral bull, which I am sure neither of us would like to see. Go virtue signal somewhere else.
