I don't believe killing animals for food is wrong, however I do believe modern farming methods are wrong. Most people don not know that even behind milk and free range egg production there is cruelty. Male chicks, when hatched are thrown in a skip. Male calves are shot or turned into veal. And cows are maltreated through bad management such as removing their calves, and overworking them.
When I try and talk to people about these things they switch off. They say they care but that they can't afford organic meat. They refuse to believe drinking milk is unnatural or cruel. Some say they don't care at all. People treat me as awkward, meddling, annoying and no fun.
They just want me to shut up and go away. But millions of animals are being tortured. If someone touches a pet dog in anyway society is up in arms. Yet they consume meat, eggs and milk and don't care. Countries that eat dog meat are called cruel yet many farm animals live in similar conditions- muck and deprivation....?
