    There is also a massive chicken cartel in the US which dictates the laws so small farmers cannot abide by all the nitpicking rules.

      Inversely, most provinces have supply management of dairy and poultry products to insure a stable price for consumers and protect farmers from inevitable variable conditions.

        Did you know that committing atrocity against chickens is in fact entirely optional? You can live a longer, healthier, wealthier life by simply not abusing animals.

            99% of the animals consumed come from factory farms. Factory farms are necessarily abusive beyond the point of atrocity. You are an animal abuser. Either own it, or change.

              Every egg carton in my grocery says “cage free” (unless it’s free range). That’s got to be worth something

              You’re making an assumption about both that person and their ability to source ethical meat or dairy products.

                There is no such thing as “ethical meat or dairy”, so no, I am not doing that. Is there a place where you can ethically obtain slaves? Of course not. Is there a place where you can ethically kill an individual that doesn’t want to die? No, no such place exists.

                I made the assumption that they consume animals. You may feel free to attack that assumption.

                  Actually you called them an animal abuser. It’s like calling a film buff a sexual assaulter because of what goes on in Hollywood. It’s silly.

                  I understand this is an important subject for you but if you can’t detach your emotions from your replies then you end up insulting folk and making us all (vegetarians) look like idiots. Stop it.

                I tend to agree that people who eat meat and outsource the dirty work without a care in the world as to how it gets to their table are just as guilty as the operators.

                That’s actually somewhat fair. It’s not entirely baseless. The basis for my claim is your previous statement that “most people don’t abuse animals.” This is factually incorrect, and easily disproved with just the scantest effort. It’s the sort of claim a person makes for the sake of moral license rather than for the sake of argument. To manage their own feelings rather than for how convincing it will be to others. Based on that, I made the assumption that you practice the sort of animal abuse I described in my previous comment. I don’t know for a fact that you consume factory farmed animals, but in the absence of further evidence to the contrary, I feel perfectly fine with that assumption. The conclusion that you are an animal abuser then becomes an unavoidable consequence.

                  no, you’re making a leap of logic

                  This is factually incorrect, and easily disproved with just the scantest effort.

                  if that were true, you could prove it, instead of claiming it’s easy to prove.
