> Systematic animal torture sounds dystopic.

I agree on principle but I'm not sure what you mean by "systematic animal torture". For example, for me industrial farming is just that, but small-scale farming (where herds are no larger than a few dozen animals, for cows, more for goats and sheep) are not.

So I think we'll disagree on that. Basically, I think some people find eating animals dystopic regardless of how it's done, while I don't.
