but higher pork prices to end this kind of “production” is one I would pay.

I am sorry, but after reading the article and your comment above, anyone logically would assume you support those 3 points, especially a politician or activist. My point to you, me and the rest of FR, is be as clear as you can on issues. Don’t get manipulated. Notice the article directs one to an emotional response and note the comments.

I also will point out to you the paying more will not solve the perceived animal welfare problem. Chickens will be chickens and hogs will be hogs.

We are very close to the govt controlling our food system even more. And to be honest with you there are too many conservatives here who think the govt is the solution to the problem because it is perceived as easy. If we pass a law, that will solve the problem. Pay attention to what is written here. How may times to you see comments about freedom, choices and responsibility?

Your statement is the same as the following statements that have had unintended consequences as we have seen.

I would gladly pay a little more utilities to save the environment.

I would gladly pay a little more to help those that need medical help.

I was thinking along the line of buying meat from a local rancher or farmer and did not explain myself to you properly.

Having seen homegrown pigs and chickens, it just disgusted me to see the way the meat factories treat their product. Pigs are intelligent animals, and while they make great food, I don’t feel they have to be treated this way and will go to some lengths not to support that kind of “farming”. Unfortunately, I live in the arid West and have to buy whatever meat the store offers.
