What’s the neoliberal solution to factory farming and animal welfare abuses?
If we don't have regulations, would we have to rely on consumers being vegans or buying from less evil farms? How could we prevent abuse against animals if animals can't stand up for themselves?
Better disease management protocols, measures to reduce meat consumption in the public, and after that I generally prefer factory farming to pasture raised animals anyhow. The latter might be better for the farm animals but it requires far more land use that takes away natural land from wild animals.

The same way we try to stop abuses of human welfare.
Reasonable laws that balance the concerns of all parties. I’d guess probably something that looks like rights for animals, but animal welfare is far enough from the central things cared about by the group of people that consider themself neoliberal that I wouldn’t expect unanimous agreement.
Edit: I accidentally a word.

CO requires all eggs be “cage free” … Doesn’t mean free range but at least they’re not stuck in battery cages.
