I hear you and I understand your post totally. I think a lot of the mentality you describe coming from people in "farm country" is because that is their livelyhood. It's their economy. So of course they are going to be more closed off to any negativity about it.
I don't understand branding either. I don't think it's necessary. I think the OP in this post will agree that any form of cruelty to animals is dead wrong. That being said, killing an animal is not cruel if you need it for food. That's just nature.
So now you have us all living in cities and towns, needing to go to the office for 10 hours a day, and we don't hunt our own food. So we rely on farms for our food. ( I know, you don't rely on livestock because you don't eat flesh ), but I do. I'm not proud of it, and I do have some guilt about it.
I just wish there would be a change. Less, much less corporate greed, so that passing the most animals through the birth -shitty life - poor death cycle, in the shortest amount of time, isn't the main goal.
