Twice in the past 24 hours (once here and once on Stephanie's blog, in the comments )I have come across the following statement: "[insert animal here] are safe from predators, get fed regularly, and are better off on farms than if they were in 'the wild.'" Tags: Ethics Language. The choice isn't the wild or the farm. It's not pretty.

The most recent execution, of Kenneth Biros, involved 30 minutes to find a vein for the single-drug and "the execution only reinforced that any form of capital punishment is legally suspect and morally wrong.". Riddle me this: What's the difference between a cow and someone on death row? Where's the moral objection on behalf of cows?
