Giving animals space to run around in is certainly ideal. But, that won’t feed the number of people who need to be fed. it also doesn’t make them “organic.”
I don’t think he’s saying that dibs. He’s saying give them a little space to run around in before we turn them into bacon.
I don’t have a problem with that but of course those who can least afford it will be the most affected. Not everyone can buy organic free range Kobe filet mignon from Fairway.
cmu, I don’t have the ego strength for a big fight, but to translate into more decorous and gentile language, I do not believe in animal cruelty. I do not believe that it is ethical to make animals suffer. I do not WANT animals to suffer. But I am not a vegetarian and I do think it is ok to eat animal meat. There are some animals which I couldn’t eat because they are too high on the food chain (monkeys, horses, dogs, cats). And I think that human beings are more important than animals.
I think you, cmu, are more important than a cat, dog, horse, billy goat or any other animal.

all aspects of non-organic meat are pretty freakin disgusting
Would you be able to tell the difference if I layed 2 steak, chops, loins or burgers in front of you? NO.

Ark – just a guess but the less hair the bigger the thingy looks.

But to willfully throw our farm animals under the bus, so to speak, I stand corrected. By your own words, you do stand for animal cruelty.
Farm animals are farm animals for one specific purpose…to feed humans.
Are you really arguing this???
Biffy – Why are you shaving your privates?
IS CMU SAYING IT’S CRUEL TO EAT MEAT???
