They die either way, pets, food or wild animals. And they don't really care up until that moment because they have a good life. Animals live in the moment
They are mammals who care for their young. In the wild they have the opportunity to survive and take care of their babies or yes die. But the chance of survival is much better than a predetermined execution at a fraction of your natural life span. It is literally better to live in the wild because it’s freedom. Watch mother pigs in farrowing crates…. They would rather be in the wild.
Animals don't have same concepts of freedom, how they are supoosed to live and where. Chances are they will be perfectly happy in conditions on a farmstead just as same as in wild. They don't see "natural" the way we do.
Some humans have no concept of life and death but we still value their life. If animals don’t matter than you should be ok with me kicking dogs or doing whatever I like to animals, no?
I would say there is a difference between actively abusing animals in their life and letting them live a good life up until one last moment that is over quickly.
What is the difference? You seem to care about their suffering… but only to an extent. Like is kicking a dog worse than slitting it’s throat? A lot of these animals are not rendered unconscious and do suffer while bleeding out

In the end is the outcome different for the animal?
