Noooooooo, I don't think that's necessarily true.  I'm from Ohio, and there
are a *whole lot* of beef cattle who spend their lives crowded into feedlots
which don't give them room to move (I think it mades the meat more tender),
churning the ground into mud, and generally living pretty lousy lives.

***Note:  I still enjoy meat.
