Not agreeing with a set of laws in principle or in whole doesn't prevent me from wishing that said laws were fairly applied. If anything it only gives me more fuel to burn in the argument against said laws..lol.
I don't maintain that my position is morally superior with regards to what is or isn't ethical mind you. On that separate issue I can only say that consumers by and large have not been willing, or when willing have not been able to come out of pocket to improve the conditions for livestock in the industry as a whole. That has to happen if we want to both improve those conditions and continue eating meat. Organic meat is still factory meat. The inputs are just different. Things like free range chicken, or free range beef are still very much a niche industry due to the prohibitive costs of production that must be passed on to the consumer.
