I grew up in the country, I am well aware of the inhumanity of most supermarket beef and chicken. The beef I ate growing up was from the farms of neighbors. It was raised in huge fields, fed top quality ingredients, and killed quickly and humanely. I currently only purchase chicken in the store that is clearly labeled as "free range." It costs a little more, but it is very ethically important to me. The difference in taste is shocking as well, they have so much more flavor because they were allowed to use their muscles and had access to insects and seeds to supplement their nutrition.

I am a huge supporter of free range farming and despise factory farms. The only way to boycott them is to not buy their products as much as possible.

So Satomi325, I just wanted to explain that I very much know the horrors of factory farms and I practice what I preach. But thank you for your statement, because that is news to most people. I think PETA is a terrible organization because it spreads so much malarkey that their true statements are ignored. Also, they never present alternatives. They say factory farms are an ethical nightmare, which is true, but they never mention the health benefits to all of free range farming. Instead they say keeping killer whales in Sea World is slavery because the constitution does not mention that only people can be slaves. True story look it up.
