Just an FYI: In Florida (at least) a similar bill was passed not because of any concerns about lab-grown meat but because loads and loads of rich people keep small amounts of cattle on their property which gives them massive property tax breaks (money that most of these counties desperately need). There’s literally over a million cows living like cow kings in Florida.
I get what you’re saying about factory farms but I just wanted to point out the truth: While those conditions are common for other farm animals I’m not aware of it being that common for cows (in the US) 🤷
As far as I know the factory farms that are like that are all related to poultry and swine (the people that run them).

While cows are not factory farmed at the same rate as other farm animals, over 70% are raised in factory farms (in the US).
