There’s an Old Testament admonition not to use meat cut from a living animal for food, so yes there is a level of depravity involved in doing this, for Jews and Christians at least.

Modern factory farming is already disturbing enough, clipping their beaks because raising them so thoroughly packed into a space causes them to go berserk.

Treat them mercifully, at least give them a halfway decent existence for the short time they’re on this earth; it’s not as if they aren’t already giving their lives to sustain us.

Surgically altering their brains so they are presumably unaware that their feet have been amputated, theyr’e immobilized and have a feeding tube shoved down their throat does not strike me as merciful, it strikes me as vile.

And, before anybody goes off, no, I’m not vegetarian. I grew up around farm animals, and any decent farmer will care for his livestock, treating them well. That their ultimate fate was the dinner table mattered not, don’t be cruel to them.

Agreed.

I wonder what Frank Perdue would have to say about this?

Thank you, I agree. I am an animal lover and I love meat, too. God told us to subdue the earth, and He gave us the animals for food and to care for. Somehow I just don’t think this is what He had in mind.
