Well guess they'd have to find something other to eat than genetically modified meat.

First It would be your 15 chickens, and when they were gone they'd be out looking for everyone elses.

Sittin Pretty you should thank your lucky stars that I don't know you in person because after the threat of eating my chickens you'd be on the ground. Some of my chickens are those factory farmed chickens and if you have never seen one in person or cared for one after falling from a truck or being rescued you could never truly know the pain these poor animals go thru.
I hope that someday your eyes see what really happens in these places and you find compassion for other living creatures besides yourself.

Crunchie, are you talking about this:

70% of U.S. grain production is used to feed farm animals. The grains and soybeans fed to animals to produce the amount of meat consumed by the average American in one year could feed seven people for the same period.

It takes 2640 gallons of water to produce one pound of edible beef. The water used to raise animals for food is more than half the water used in the United States.


Calories of fossil fuel needed to produce 1 calorie of protein in beef: 28.
Calories of fossil fuel needed to produce 1 calorie of protein in soybeans: 2.

Raising animals for food is the biggest polluter of our water and topsoil. Factory farm animal waste pollutes the ground and groundwater horribly.

It takes more land to raise animals for food than it does to produce the equivalent nutritional value by raising edible plants. Rain forests are being destroyed to make room for huge cattle ranches. Coyotes and other animals are poisoned and shot by western cattle ranchers who consider federal land to be their land for grazing.

Vegetarian is an old Indian word for "LOUSY HUNTER" & veal is my favourite meal.

I figure I'm at the top of the food chain & will eat whatever the heck I want. Everyone else can make their own choice. Period.

You know the veggies on this board don't condemn & make fun of the omnis so why do you (an omni) have to condemn & make fun of the veggies?

Thank you so much Hooligan, I had just about ran out of things to say to settinpretty to defend my ground. I wish I could get some battery hens, I would only have the room for a few though. They would have to stay in the goat barn with my free rangers, but they would have fresh water, food, treats, all the space in the world, friends, and safe roosts. Around here, many people think of animals as just ''animals''. Not living, breathing, beings. If I could find around 5 avaliable, would take them in a heartbeat. I am a STRONG believer of all that you have said.

I'm not making fun of you, I just am stating my OWN OPINION. If you don't like it, Flock Off

That was pretty rude LCRT.

You should let some animal rescuers in your area know that you would take some in...they just might show up on your doorstep someday with them.
We have TONS of broilers here (in AR) and I found 9 within a two week period here. Guess I was out driving alot!

Actually I find this rude. No where in my first post did I condemn you. If you think my "Lousy Hunter" crack is making fun, so be it. I call it sarcasm.

By the way, the term "MURDER" only applies to humans killing humans, check the dictionary.
