Ummm .. no. Not 'immoral' but farm raised animals can be treated more or less inhumanely. I guess those who do it inhumanely and those who buy their products can be said to be immoral to some degree. A lot of pressure has been brought to bear on producers who keep or slaughter animals in an inhumane manner. Some of us prefer to eat 'happy meat'. But that we eat animals in and of itself is not something I lose any sleep over.
