Yeah LJ, right on. Food is food. Animals are food.
To be honest the western taste in meat tends towards the boring.
Cruelty is never right, it only reflects the mindset of the person inflicting it.
I hate the ignorance of people with this shit.
Mcdonalds probably used to do it and probably still do it on the sly, battery farming.
But unfortunately most americans seem to see TV as being gospel truth about everything.
No comment aimed at anyone in particular, apart from the mindless person who decided to hate china based on some animal rights organisations video. This shit goes on in every country in the world. I dont say if its right or wrong, its a harsh issue when you consider the possibilities.
a) nice farming, free range chicken etc. Nice lives for chickens. Nice quality meat cos its not been bred in stressful conditions.
b) harsh farming, battery chickens. No care for the well being of the animals. Means more energy into producing more food, and the worlds a starving place.
The market forces that be will push BOTH angles at us. Organic meat, mmm tasty, morally safe, EXPENSIVE,
Battery meat, mmm tastes like chicken. morally unsound. CHEAP.
This is to accomodate both sections of the market, the rich, and richer middle class who have time and money to worry about the well being of another creature, and the working class who dont, but have to get by n dont really see the point in paying more for the chicken that feeds them and their familys.
