Yes, yes, I pretty much agree with you, and you're very coherent here, I wouldn't be able to tell you're drunk if you didn't tell us yourself ;) But mind you that I'm not from the US, but from Brazil. I live in a city on the southern part of the country, with some 300 thousand people, for me it's a big city, but for our country's standards it's a pretty small city. Also, most of my relatives live in rural areas where there was no access to electricity until recently, and some of them raise cattle. Most of my childhood consisted of going to these places with my family during vacations and holidays, sometimes I'd go fishing with my cousins, and several times I saw my relatives kill chickens, pigs and other animals for dinner or lunch. For me, that never was a problem.

As I said, I don't have a problem with small farms, where cattle roams free and all of that. It's just that here in Brazil, a lot of the Amazon Rainforest was deforested (according to Wikipedia, some 15% of forest was clear-cut from 1970 to 2015), mostly for this industrial-level cattle raising. Also, the biggest cities are far away from the states where are the big farms which feed these people, so here goes the fossil fuel transport. We don't have may trains here, so the gross of goods transport is made by truck.

Then comes the more controversial stuff, which is the well-being of animals. I don't think we should go to extremes and treat animals like humans, but it's nice to give them space and avoid hurting them, as they aren't plants an certainly feel pain, in the biological sense of the word.

So yeah, I don't think you were attacking my argument, and said that as a more general warning about anti-farm arguments/propaganda. For me, the problem lies deeper down, especially on this philosophy of endless growth we humans live by. I think it's ok to pursue well-being, but there should be a limit somewhere, probably where well-being turns into selfishness, and people star having much more than they actually need, for the sake of "well-being".

And finally, I actually want to live in a farm and get my hands dirty. My boyfriend also likes hunting, and we plan to move to a place where it's easier to get a hunting permit and buy guns/weapons. Right now, we don't have a single penny, so it will take time. But we are still young so its ok...
