We are currently witnessing the "Protein Transition." Lab-grown meat (cellular agriculture) is the wildcard. If we can grow chicken nuggets from a petri dish with no slaughter, does that satisfy the Rights advocate? (Most say yes, though some object to the original cell extraction). Does it satisfy the Welfarist? (Yes, because suffering is zero).

The strategic question of the 21st century is this:

Prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment of illness [23, 35]. Regular veterinary care and vaccinations [23]. Providing sufficient space and proper facilities [23, 33]. Company of the animal's own kind [23]. Freedom from Fear & Distress Conditions that avoid mental suffering [23, 35]. Avoiding psychological stress [23]. 3. Identifying and Reporting Animal Cruelty
