If people have to eat meat, it would be nice if they didn't eat the
industry stuff, where the animals are treated the worst. You clearly
love your pets. You should be able to understand.

I'm not being snooty smug. I'm just pointing out that people who buy
industry meat support animal cruelty.

If you don't eat much meat anyway, it wouldn't cost you a lot to replace
your little bit of industry meat with something more humane.

If someone can't afford free-range meat, that's the end of the
discussion, unless you're prepared to stop eating meat altogether. But I
doubt that there are many people in this newsgroup who have to buy
industry meat for financial reasons.
