There's no "compassion" in the process. Yes, I do think it's better to have lived a comfortable life and then be slaughtered than to have been tortured the entire time and then be slaughtered. I wouldn't do it to a dog, and I shouldn't do it to a chicken/sheep/cow/pig. It's cruel. No argument here. It's just not right.

More than nine billion chickens are slaughtered each year in the United States.

It is a very interesting read, and as I stated in the post I wrote on my blog , part of the team that wrote the plan is the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, one of the states proposing a Sandhill Crane slaughter. Thank you again for you very eloquent post and I urge everyone to go read Vickie Henderson’s post also, AND WRITE!

The "problem with this view" that arises is that it is entirely logical to broaden one's circle of compassion beyond "pets" and to other sentient nonhumans, and Scott doesn't like that logic because it conflicts with his profit motive and his palate. However, a problem with this view arises when we consider animals in agriculture."
