 Pro I believe animals that are bread, Taken unconditionally fed, Rigorously looked after, And protected from the harms of nature (and eventually prematurely slain for food) are better off than in the scenario where they are let out into the wild and are exposed to the horrors of disease, Starvation, And constant fear and stress from wild predators, Which would eventually dictate the eradication of these now domesticated animals. On average these animals wouldn't survive as long in nature, As they do in free-range farms, And their quality of life is significantly worse. Also, The slow and painful death to disease or starvation is, Although less of a shock, Far worse in terms of the accumulated pain and suffering than getting knocked out and then getting your throat slit, Or even without the 'getting knocked out' part.  Con Well these are domesticated animals are they not? They can't survive in nature so the point is rather moot no? |

Pro Why did you accept the debate if you don't even make an attempt at refuting my arguments? |

Reasons for voting decision: Doesn't look like this was really a debate.
Pull the other one it's got bells on.
The best way to go about it would be the immediate cessation of all breeding programmes, Whilst continuing with current slaughter and utilisation practices. What would be the point in simply opening the farm gate and letting that valuable food resource run off into the wild.
To coin a farming phrase: Wouldn't it be better to make hay whilst the sun was still shining.
No throat slitting involved in fruit harvesting.
Nice ploy billsands. Con takes it.
And cherry picking is usually an operation employed both on fruit farms and in the natural environment.
Getting knocked out and having your throat slit is pretty sh*t.
And you're right. Not getting knocked out but still having your throat slit would probably be even sh*tter.
I would personally suggest that an unconditional diet of bread would be somewhat detrimental to an animals wellbeing.
Aren't sandwiches bread, Often with a tasty rendered animal filling?
