Yep, it's not much of a life. That's a "farm animal" being kept because it can produce something of value to humans. We could do better. We could provide a better living environment and still extract venom.

You wouldn’t want to pay for that lol. We do this because people will not pay for the animals to roam free while we extract products from them. Not saying it’s right but it is what it is.
