You guys should watch Earthlings.
If I watch it will I earn enough cred to be allowed to be offended? What if I just watch half of it? Just dogs but not cats? Other way around?
Animals are animals. Just because chickens aren't as cute and fluffy as cats or dogs does it mean they're allowed to be kept in tightly packed cages?
I'm not saying you aren't allowed to be offended. It is horrific. But it's not okay when you argue that cows or chickens deserve such treatment because they've been labelled by us as merely food and not a living, breathing creature.
