Regarding "ethically produced meat" - I have the sense that if we can arrange for livestock conditions better than their typical experience in nature, then animal experience is overall improved to some degree. If that is arranged then the more animals we can do that for, the more gross experience is improved over the natural level (which due to extant harshness is not all that hard to better) We should also for animal keepers own feelings and experience at work, regulate that animal suffering is reduced to a hard minimum.

Its paradoxical that we can't try arrange this for actual wildlife which is often as much in conflict with its neighborhood as it is at peace, or the wild systems will break down, by removing pressures, saving young from predation etc.
