How do you know that it doesn't cause them pain? I find that very hard to believe. Having a tube shoved down their throat can't feel good.

Even if that is true and it doesn't really hurt their throat, that still does not sound like humane treatment to be stuck in a tiny cage, and force-fed through a tube until their liver swells up to 10x bigger than it should be.

Do you how many of these animals are sickly and die from this? I don't know the number but I'm sure it is astronomically higher than for geese that are cared for in a normal way.

Have you seen factory farmed chickens?

Their breasts are ridiculously bigger than natural, thanks to the way they're raised.

Lol, this is true, but at least they choose, so it can't be construed as cruelty to animals.

I'm sure if given the choice, chickens would choose to not get beheaded and fryed. Most strippers are just working thier way through school...

Yes, that is true. That is why I prefer free-range chicken. It's more expensive but it's much healthier and the animals have a much better life.
