How are animals treated in farms in the UK? Pigs, Cows, Chickens etc..

Question

I watched some videos on Peta.Org which nearly put me in tears. How are they treated within you UK? Slowly I'm being put off meat by this but its hard as I'm trying to build muscle and meat is a part of my diet.

Answer 1

awfully to put it mildly

It's been in the media a lot recently so I guess peoples eyes are being opened to where their food comes from which is a good thing.
