Compassionate consumers can take a stand against this cruelty by choosing vegan options. The same goes for pigs and cattle that are exploited and forced to live in substandard conditions. Chickens deserve to live humanely. That’s the least farmers can do. ELAINE SLOAN New York, March 4, 2014'

Feeding grain to chickens, pigs and cows is even more inefficient, with 70 percent of grain grown in the United States going to animals raised for food. Besides depleting the ocean’s supply of fish for those animals normally feeding on them, the factory farming of cattle, pigs and chickens uses excessive water and pollutes our land.

Vegan vegetarians who eat only vegetables, fruit, and nuts do not completely remove all microorganisms from their food, even with repeated cleaning. If beef cattle who could not feel pain were developed, then it would be permissible to eat them. Clearly, cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, and fish do not consent to being eaten.
