For me this is just too much suffering. I agree it is immoral to put them through that in their millions just to satisfy a liking of the flavour. It's refeshing to find a person who takes responsibility for their actions rather than raise dubious reasons why it's not moral in the first place, e.g. it's natural.
I'd be interested to know why you think it is immoral?
Because of things like that. But I enjoy meat. Maybe I'll check how the animals are being treated first, but I'm not stopping just because some animals are treated badly. The cruelty should stop, but I'm not stopping my consumption because it won't effect shit.
That's just what a lot of people said about slavery. I think it is a bit of a cop out to say you will continue doing somthing you know to be wrong just because others are. Every person makes a difference, however small.
