Think of it as "humane use." Animal welfarists don’t ask, "Should we own pets?" They ask, "Are we giving our pets a good life?" They don’t ask, "Should we eat meat?" They ask, "How can we ensure farm animals live a life worth living before slaughter?"
Critics (including many rights advocates) argue that welfare is ultimately a "humane washing" tactic. By making factory farms slightly less horrific, welfare reduces public outrage and allows the system of exploitation to continue. As philosopher Gary Francione argues, a "happy" slaughterhouse is a contradiction in terms. Welfare asks how to kill an animal humanely; Rights asks why we are killing it at all.
