According to the National Council for Animal Protection, over 99% of beef farmed for meat comes from cows that live in horrific factory farm environments.

Does the remaining 1% matter all that much in the conversation?



Would you expect the National Council for Animal Protection to give you an unbiased figure?

I struggle with the concept of feedlot farming being morally acceptable at all. However, I've been on a number of beef farms in the UK and it's just not representative of how British beef is raised.


That number is probably true for the USA only. GP specifically said:

does the national council for animal protection sound like they do independent research?
