And the biggest evil we perpetrate on them isn't even the slaughter- it's the conditions we keep them while we're raising them to get big enough to eat. The misery they spend their short lives in is awful- jammed into cages so small they can't turn around- tails and beaks cut off, never seeing sunlight. For their entire lives. So, I wish PETA and other animal groups would focus on getting factory farms outlawed. Several European nations have done it, and people there still seem to manage to eat meat, so I imagine we could do it, too.
Plus factory farms are really, really bad for the environment. And for the small farmer.
