Because I don't understand how you could run a profitable business without making sure your animals stay healthy. PS. Sorry for the multi-posts, but, you know, can't be bothered cut-and-pasting multiple times. Making sure animals stay healthy enough to be profitable isn't equivalent to making sure they are treated well. A chicken won't necessarily get sick enough to be less productive from living in a box its entire life, but it will definitely suffer. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Ash Lael E Equals MC What!!!! Member # 5491	written Tuesday, September 6 2005 02:53 Profile Homepage #76 Well, yes, but we were talking about dairy cows, which is an entirely different kettle of fish. So to speak. But just for the heck of it, how do you know chickens care about being locked in small cages? Is it just "I wouldn't like it, so they must not"? Or are there indicators? -------------------- Sex is easier than love. Posts: 1861 \| Registered: Friday, February 11 2005 08:00

Ash Lael E Equals MC What!!!! Member # 5491	written Tuesday, September 6 2005 03:44 Profile Homepage #78 True. I was just wondering whether the reaction to the chook batteries was fueled by "It's clear that the hens are being stressed by their living conditions" or "Oh my God! They can't move! You monsters!" I mean, I've only heard the second one. Not arguing that they don't suffer, just playing Devil's Advocate. -------------------- Sex is easier than love.

Sturg Master Member # 4614	written Tuesday, September 6 2005 16:21 Profile Homepage #80 Yes of course we hunt for meat. Unless it's gophers. :P And yes, most shot animals die quite quick, though one could argue painfully. There's also the possibility of barely missing and wounding it, but we try to avoid that at all costs. But man, they're just animals. Deer, cows chickens, what have you. I don't each death new beheaded chicken doesn't cause much emotional turmoil. In fact, it's probably a relief if anything. One less to steal the food. :P -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 \| Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00
