Depending on the species, most of them would immediately starve or be killed by other natural predators like coyotes if we weren't raising, feeding, and protecting them. This is why there are no wild escaped chicken populations in the way there are feral cats. So I don't think "old age" and "natural lifespan" are 1) commensurate 2) terribly meaningful metrics in heavily domesticated food species.

Someone's never been to Kauai.

But I get your point. ;)

nayrt - Yep. And people are highly unlikely to go through the trouble of raising, feeding and protecting a lot of the animal species we currently consume for food if, you know, they aren't being consumed for food.

So basically, we bred them specifically for food and they can't survive on their own at this point anyways so we might as well just keep eating them?

Have you ever been to the Cayman Islands?

Uh, we breed domesticated animals into existence. They would peacefully not exist if we didn't breed them for the express purpose of being killed for food. No vegan is suggesting we set all domesticated cows and chickens free.

Though PETA suggests farm and pet animals better off dead and puts this into action. And there's been a number of instances where farmed animals (particularly fur farms) have had the animals set free. They're not domesticated animals, but they're not wild-raised animals either. My area has a problem with (non-native) feral deer because a group of animal rights activists didn't like them being farmed for meat and set them free about 20 years ago.
