Red Meat

Is there something inherently badf about red meat other than the way it is raised? The red meat we eat is mostly wild game that has lived in the wild in a healthy environment - deer, beaver, elk. We also eat "happy hog" - pigs raised by a nearby family in their pasture. I wonder if the industrial agriculture practices are what makes red meat unhealthy for consumption rather than some quality of the meat itself.
