Comparison between domestic and wild animals:

"Conventionally" raised farm animals are often confined in such tiny
spaces that they can barely move, away from sunlight, are given all
sorts of drugs, antibiotics, hormones, fed unnatural food (even
practice cannibalism), are relatively unhealthy, and are subject to a
lot of stress before they are slaughtered.

Organically raised animals have a lot more space, receive
homeopathic/phytotherapic treatment when sick but no antibiotics or
hormones, fed mostly natural food, are relatively healthy. They are
killed at an early age, but don't mind since they can't think in
advance about death; they don't realize they will be killed by humans,
and eaten afterwards. Stress is minimized before slaughtering.

Wild herbivores have virtually unlimited space, don't receive any
medical
treatment when sick. They eat natural food but may suffer from
occasional food shortages. They are relatively healthy. Some of them
die
at an advanced age, but have to live under constant fear of predators,
who may kill them or inflict them permanent injuries. Killing is
always preceded by stress.

Wild carnivores are luckier than herbivores, but may die from
starvation when they are too old to run after their prey.
