Would you prefer a factory farmed chicken that has been fed antibiotics, growth hormone, and arsenic? These chickens have never seen the sun. When they are slaughtered, they have to be rinsed in ammonia because the meat is so contaminated.
Or would you prefer one that has lived in the open air, has seen the sun, and eats grass and natural feed?
And if you eat eggs, where would you like your eggs to come from?
Would you prefer they come from these chickens who have lived their entire lives in battery cages, never seeing the sun, and never being able to move around? These chickens often end up standing in one place so long that their feet grow into the bars of the cage.
Or would you prefer eggs from chickens that have healthy lives?
Your choice is also your responsibility. If you don't care where your food comes from, or you don't want to know, then of course, that's your choice. BUT, if you believe in our responsibility to steward the animals on this planet (or at least to not abuse them), then it is your responsibility to know what happens to your food and to act according to your beliefs. And if you believe in God, then surely you must know that this is not how he wants his animals to be treated.
There are many people who would never hit an animal, or kick a dog.......but they will eat a chicken sandwich from a factory farm and never see the similarities. If you believe that God will judge us based on our actions, don't our actions include cruelty to all animals - not just the cute ones??
There is so much information online about what happens to factory farm animals. If you want to know the truth, then you can find it.
