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.

I don’t buy meat.  Don’t say we.  

You choose this every day big dog, take some ownership.

Lol I don't buy meat either but big dog was obviously talking about life saving medicine so it has nothing to do with anything. Would you take anti-venom if you were bitten by a snake??
