I do think, however, the animals should be treated as humanely as possible, which almost always costs money ad these people do not want to spend it -- sad, very true. On the other hand, the reality is very few people are willing to pay extra for that. So, the market exists for that reason. I mean who amongst us has not bought the cheapest chicken in the supermarket when the cash was low  |
I am aware that my meat does not just come that way - but I also don't want my meat to be treated in heinous ways...I mean there is NO excuse for a farm worker to be stomping on an animal, or inserting anything into its "areas"
There has to be a happy medium...some argue that simply slaughtering the animal for food is cruel - but well, that part is a fact of life - the slamming of birds against walls? Is not.
