[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is the type of situation where the market should dictate.  Consumers who are willing to pay for "ethical" meat should purchase that.  If there is enough demand, farmers will make the switch.  But don't dictate your elite views on people who need to feed their family.[/quote]

I feel that way about things like grass fed beef vs feed lot beef - yeah, feed lots are pretty bad, but a cow spends only a part of their life on a feed lot, not the entirety. I can (barely) stomach that feed lots exist, and maybe people are okay with the bad treatment. I think most people just decide not to know, but that's another story.

But sow gestation crates are a whole other level of torture.[b] An animal kept for practically its entire life pregnant and unable to turn around or walk? Can you imagine if people did that to their pet dogs? They'd be shunned, and have their dogs taken away from them, and be charged with animal cruelty. If animal cruelty is against the law, it's against the law. Let's enforce the law for dogs and pigs.[/quote][/b]

It's called puppy mills. Yes, I can imagine it, it's not enforced for dogs either. And yes, tons of people do this to their dogs and they're not shunned. Animalty cruelty charges are extremely rare. With all due respect, I don't disagree with you and have been a vegetarian for 20 years of my life but you sound like...a sweet,  sweet summer naive child.[/quote]
