I can only speak for myself, but knowing where my food came from makes me extremely happy and thats something that we have largely lost today.
I spent about a year raising two hogs, babying them when compared to how almost anyone raises pigs. They loved their lives, I know exactly what they ate, and I know exactly what their last moments were. I just started curing another round of bacon a couple days ago, and when I get to enjoy it I know exactly how much work and love went into it.
I don't think this process made anyone as miserable as possible, and it makes me much happier than when I didn't k ow where my food came from, how it was raised, or how it was processed.

While I don't eat meat for various reasons, I always appreciate homesteaders.
To ensure that the creatures they shepherd have as few bad moments as possible. To have hogs and to know they will only have one bad day.
