why can’t we wait for animals to naturally die or are close to death before slaughter?

Question

Is there a reason? Is the meat nasty as they grow older? I doubt it’ll get us sick, lol. I’m just curious.

Keeping animals is expensive, and thus you want to do it for the least amount of time possible. The sooner you can slaughter them, the less you’ll spend on food and water for the animal.
