Since life works in fucked up yet seemingly predictable ways, how probable is it that pigs/cows/chickens become sterile at a point on behalf of not wanting to exist to be food for our stupid fucking faces? How soon?
on a sidenote, i heard Iowa alone has 44 million pigs. that's fucking insane LOL

Almost forever. They never see it coming. So they keep coming.
However, we have alternatives. Plant based, insect based (broken down and reformed), and cloning based.

Or just let 95% of humanity die off (from whatever causes, starvation, viruses, whatever other causes) and the rest of us simply rely on Permaculture.

certainly, but i'm talking more in terms of a complete change in DNA over time. i imagine horrible living conditions would expedite this event.

That is already a thing somewhat with breeds like broad breasted white turkey and cornish x rock chicken. They are so massive and grow so fast they die before they can reach maturity most of the time and can't physically breed, on their own, due to their shape and size. Both of those breeds are use exclusively for large industrial farming and contribute the most to the poultry industry.

Yup.

These are the main meat birds for the poultry industry, all white, all massive,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broad_Breasted_White_turkey
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornish-Rock#General_biology
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Pekin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emden_goose

I've raised cornish x rock before. It was a horror show. I've never seen chickens have heart attacks before but it is a bit off putting. I've also raised broad breasted white turkeys before and still have one. They aren't as much of a horror show. The one I still have is a few year old and like 55-60lbs. Pekin ducks and Emden geese are nothing like the cornish x rock and BBW turkeys, but the ducks can get leg problems and wing problems if you don't feed them correctly.

iknoritelol well fuck. i can't really say i got a problem with it. i mean, at least we kill our prey humanely instead of ripping their throats out with our teeth. meat farming aint so bad as long as the living conditions are reasonable.

If anything, they would simply grow more comfortable. Indeed, this comfort, unstirred and unperplexed, just makes them fat, so long as gravity is around, they are around. You seem to neglect the fact that in the wild, nature tries to replicate. You see a cow, I see several trillion cells that would never have formed if they weren't given food like in the wild. Not saying it's healthy, just saying it's stable.

That's already happened with turkeys. They've been bred to where you need to use artificial insemination. Literally cannot get at dat cloaca.

a sow can produce around 25-30 piglets a year for several years. adaptation is pretty rapid with those numbers

I'm guessing from the name that they're an f1 hybrid, so whether they can breed isn't important.

Those living conditions are still fucked up. Barely any light and barely enough space to stand up.

The company Tyson lobbied for those conditions in order to hide the farms from the public.

More accurately they told the farmers who sold to them that the buildings couldn't have windows at all.
