The *massive* difference in the majority of cases is that *all*
livestock has a very very *short* life as you typically have them
killed when they are just children, because that's when their flesh is
the most tender (or way before they may live in the wild).

Research on foxes has shown that while they could live for 20 years, in
the wild their life-span is more like five years. During that time they
are plagued with fleas and lice, and carry a variety of intestinal pests
such as ringworm, etc, that take nutrients from their already limited
diet. A variety of other diseases, some unpleasant, blight their lives.

But none of this matters! They are living naturally! Living in a zoo
with regular balanced meals of good food, somewhere nice for shelter,
and with regular medical attention, must be sheer hell for them.

One can't help but notice that *you* don't live in the wild. Care to
explain why?
