Yeah, but without them, meat would once more be considered expensive

Used to be only had chicken for Sunday dinner. It was a luxury not the cheapest meat

They could at least have better living environments for them! It's so sad how they treat their birds. And it's worse for laying hens because they have to live in that condition for almost 2 years instead of 8 weeks....... but I have to say, when the meat birds are brought to processing, that is the worst moment of their lives.

Better living environments would cause cost to rise, if not skyrocket

That's okay with me.

Lives are more important than cash, IMO.

Which is why I raise my own poultry. But it's about $7 a lb. ....
