It's impersonal and hideously ugly and the animals suffer greatly. No factory farms, no large-scale operations where animals are crammed together under a roof, never to see the light of day. I wouldn't do it to a dog, and I shouldn't do it to a chicken/sheep/cow/pig. No argument here. It's just not right.

Animal Ethics

OCTOBER 13, 2008

From the perspective of the land ethic a herd of cattle, sheep, or pigs is as much or more a ruinous blight on the landscape as a fleet of four-wheel drive off-road vehicles. But this is not true of cows, pigs, sheep, and chickens. They want to abolish the institution of confinement, which inflicts horrible suffering on animals.

Animal Ethics

These people abstain from eggs and dairy products the production of which involves suffering for the animals. To avoid this complication, Martin should have stipulated that no suffering is involved in the production of animal legs. If, on the other hand, the legs are produced in factory conditions, there is a moral objection.
