So for example, don't:
Tell me vegetarianism is a Buddhism philosophy, when that is not strictly true (religious).
Tell me I'm a really a herbivore, when we (as a species) are obviously omnivores (scientific/evolutionary).
Make me feel guilty by humanising things, and telling me I'm a cannibal and I'm eating corpses (emotive)

The bottom line on animal production is that if animals are miss-treated they don't perform. As farming is about performance, then it is in the best interest of the farmers to keep their cows happy. Which they are, and most farmers are not cruel by nature anyhow.

There is a slight possibility that I am not actually right all of the time.

OWD, I hate cage houses, nearly as much as I hate intensive piggeries. And I know this doesn't make sense to us humans, perhaps because we aren't chooks, but chooks housed in cage houses produce well. I feel sure that you would agree that if animals were being treated poorly then production would decline.
Written by: Stone
Put another way, while I think cage houses are cruel, the chooks don't seem to mind that much. Anyhow, we certainly have a wide choice of organic and free-range eggs at the supermarket. So it is relatively easy not to support the cage house industry. Without support the industry will decline, and this will lead to more humane egg production.

while we're on the subject of eggs (& me being HOP's resident eggcentric and all.....) Free Range is not all it's cracked up to be. Free Range conveys a positive image of animals living outdoors as nature intended, though this is not always the case. and ALL egg production systems involve the disposal of unwanted male chicks

OWD, that has to be the most amazingly biased website I've ever seen. Black-and-white photo off the hen in the cage courtesy of ALF? Good heavens! What ever happened to objectivity?
Believe me; I'm not defending cage production, but...sheesh!

Food sources plentiful? Ever tried to subsist by eating berries and fruits in the wild? They're few and far between, especially in mid-January.

But for this reason, I cannot reconcile the viewpoint that eating animals is morally wrong, while medical research is a necessary evil. Thus, I choose not to have an opinion on animal rights.
