Goat cheese is disgusting

Keep kidding yourself..

Free range does not necessarily mean organic. Just because the hens are not in battery cages and might have a bit of extra room, this does not mean that they are being fed a natural diet, free of chemicals and growth hormones. Free range isn’t as ‘compassionate’ as many egg producers claim it is, using misleading labels and slogans such as “happy eggs”. In the UK free range eggs can mean the hens are given a nest area, some space to perch and maybe an opportunity to see some sunlight. But the idea that free range chickens spend all day outside, where they can behave naturally, is wishful thinking.

The irony is that as the increase for free range eggs has gone up (44% of all eggs purchased in the UK are free range) the concerns for welfare have gone down. The resulting conditions are only marginally better than factory farms. An undercover investigation into a Nobel Foods farm in Scotland, which is supposed to produce free range eggs, found that electric wires are used to control the young chicks. At least one barn was infested with ‘red mite’ (a parasite) and many hens were missing feathers due to fights. But still, at least this is slightly better than factory farming, where the animals are known to kill and eat each other due to the high levels of stress and frustration that come wyith being contained in a space where the hens cannot even stretch their wings.

Keep kidding yourself drongo.

Cruelty to goats to satisfy YOUR demand. Meat (because that's all it is at the end of the day motherfuckers) is ALL about supply and demand.

The chicken I eat gets treated more humanely than these goats.
