Their interests are primarily protected, if at all, through archaic state anti-cruelty statutes that were not passed in contemplation of the factory-farm or genetic engineering.

To the Editor: “ A Factory Farm Near You ” (editorial, July 31) does not mention any issue of the morality of factory farming—treating living beings as factory products. Cruelty to animals on such a scale should be the centerpiece of any discussion on raising animals for food. Is that why we conveniently omit it from all discussion?

"By pairing humane with slaughter , legislators have sanctioned horrific cruelty and mass murder. To rest easy, those who buy or sell products from nonhuman bodies must forget that each victim suffered personal loss of freedom, well-being, and life" (140). What if slaughter were freed (miraculously) of all terror and pain?

Suppose first that there is a moral obligation to protest cruelty to animals or to commit onself [ sic ] to feeding the hungry people of the world. Although I have found no compelling moral arguments for vegetarianism, there still may be reasons why morally sensitive people would wish to become vegetarians.

Egg production, including on free-range farms, entails the mass killing of newborn male chicks, a point made in Nicholas D. Hens in all forms of egg production endure an equally cruel execution once their profitability has declined. The debeaking of hens and other routine cruelties of egg production are seldom put before the public.

You can't pull the god card to claim superiority over the rest of us so you demonize the consumption of animal products. You purposefully choose to ignore facts like that though when citing the "cruelty and injustice" involved in the rearing and slaughter of animals. You're hypocrites essentially, and the worst kind in my opinion.

If we are to live in a more peaceful world, we must abandon the cruelty on our plates. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, management and husbandry are more important than the type of production system for ensuring the health and well-being of pigs. This issue is an important one and needs to be talked about.

But there is a net loss in all meat production, not just of farmed fish or feeding fish to land animals being raised for food.

Since chickens of the strain raised for meat production aren't typically raised in cages, the label "free roaming chicken" can legally be applied to chickens that were painfully debeaked and then permanently confined in an overcrowded shed with 100,000 other chickens each of whom had 7/10 of a square foot of floor space.

Most people are shocked and appalled when they first read descriptions of factory farming and learn about the horribly inhumane conditions in which the billions of animals destined for dinner tables are raised, and they are even more appalled when they first see documentary footage of the institutional cruelties inherent in factory farming.

Wherever companies profit from cruelty, you can rest assured that they will try to hide that cruelty from consumers, because cruelty makes a rather poor PR statement. Because, despite a NY Times story designed to promote fur sales, real fur is associated with cruelty, and cruelty is never "in."

It is certain, then, that the practice of flesh-eating involves a vast amount of cruelty, a fact which cannot be lessened or evaded by any quibbling subterfuges.

Causing an animal to suffer for no good reason is cruel, and our ordinary commonsense morality tells us in no uncertain terms that cruelty is wrong. Virtually everyone agrees that: (1) It is wrong to cause a conscious sentient animal to suffer for no good reason. It is not just a few outspoken animal rights fanatics who hold this view.
