Hi Ulrik—I’m not aware of farms which have slaughter facilities on-site (is this more common in the US than in the UK maybe?) and the ‘small, local high welfare farm’ is also a bit of a myth. The majority of farmed animals (85% in the UK, 99% in the US) are factory-farmed (i.e. raised in the most intensive conditions), are killed at a fraction of their natural lifespans, transported and killed in high-speed slaughterhouses—whilst abuses have been documented in both large and small ‘local’ slaughter facilities. The 2 conditions / requirements you have stipulated in your post are hypothetical / wishful-thinking type scenarios which are, unfortunately, not borne out by the realities of farming and killing billions of animals for consumption.
