You've only just wrote, "that it wouldn't really matter

They do it for exactly the reason you gave and
to fraudulently claim compensation for what
should be a safety net for other genuine people
in need of that money. In short, they lie and
cheat their own kind, and can't be trusted to look
after animals, let alone be honest to customers
about their product.

What a load of rubbish. You start off by claiming
farmers are "honest even when it hurts" and then
go on to admit they're anything but honest or even
responsible enough to look after the animals in their
charge.

Then why did you lie by initially claiming, "it wouldn't
really matter anyway"?

>But what and who does it matter to?

Everyone, including themselves.
