    There's no evidence of that at all Goo, but we have
plenty of proof that you not only do not, but you don't
want anyone else to either:

"NO livestock benefit from being farmed." - Goo

"No farm animals benefit from farming." - Goo

"There is nothing to "appreciate" about the livestock "getting 
to experience life" - Goo

"ONLY deliberate human killing deserves any moral 
consideration." - Goo

"We're ONLY talking about deliberate human killing" - Goo

"the "getting to experience life" deserves NO moral 
consideration, and is given none; the deliberate killing 
of animals for use by humans DOES deserve moral 
consideration, and gets it." - Goo

""giving them life" does NOT mitigate the wrongness of 
their deaths" - Goo

"When considering your food choices ethically, assign 
ZERO weight to the morally empty fact that choosing to 
eat meat causes animals to be bred into existence." - Goo

"You consider that it "got to experience life" to be some kind 
of mitigation of the evil of killing it." - Goo

"The meaningless fact-lette that farm animals "get to 
experience life" deserves no consideration when asking 
whether or not it is moral to kill them.  Zero." - Goo

"no matter how "decent" the conditions are, the deliberate killing 
of the animals erases all of it." - Goo

"the moral harm caused by killing them is greater in magnitude 
than ANY benefit they might derive from "decent lives" - Goo

"the nutritionally unnecessary choice deliberately to kill an animal
ALWAYS causes a moral harm greater in magnitude than . . . the
moral "benefit" realized by the animal in existing at all" - Goo

"Humans could change it. They could change it by ending it." - Goo

"There is no "selfishness" involved in wanting farm animals not to 
exist as a step towards creating a more just world." - Goo

"It is completely UNIM****TANT, morally, that "billions 
of animals" at any point "get to experience life." 
ZERO im****tance to it." - Goo
