On some farms I go to, they have like chicken coops and stables for the pigs.

I think all that processing is a East Coast thing
Don't get me wrong, I'm no PETA fan at all, just telling you the way it is.
Those cows you see in the fields will go to a feedlot for several months and fed grain to fatten them up before they are done in. Rest assured those peaceful cows you see will end up in a large crowded feedlot then off to the slaughterhouse one day.

I prefer to get my meat the old fashiond way...I hunt it.
