The ones on his plate? In his burger? Idiot. “I did toy with the idea of getting some chickens along with the pigs, but have you ever met a bantam with a personality?”

The animal is just as dead regardless and I suspect he or she would have been happy to be alive and not respected, if you get what I mean.

Of course there are social and economic circumstances that lessen the worker's responsibility. But it doesn't make it right. Needless killing is never right.

I have four adopted chickens, each of whom I love immensely. They all have unique personalities and habits. The ignorance of this comment just astounds me. “I did toy with the idea of getting some chickens along with the pigs, but have you ever met a bantam with a personality?”

With a potential family to feed as well as himself economic forces might force him to kill that pig. There aren't many folks who actively seek employment in killing factories, and I'm sure for many it is the last line between feeding their families or not.
