Presumably you are referring to the 'natural' life that you want to
force on animals, where their life expectancy in that brutal regime is
even shorter than for the cosseted farm animals.


It isn't normally though. Animals tend to live much longer in the wild
than when bred to eat.


A survey of wild foxes showed that average age at death was 5 years,


Those arent bred to eat, even in china.

but a fox could live to 20. The natural life is quite brutal.


Cats, pigs, camels, horses, dogs here live long lives when they go wild.
