I can understand eating meat because it's the natural order, but keeping a chicken locked in a cage too small for it's entire life, where it will never see daylight, and pumping it with hormones until it's in so much pain, and then killing it is totally inhumane. Even if eating animals is what humans are 'supposed' to do, this is not. And sleepy jack is right, you don't know what animals can and can't feel. I've had many pets and I would never want to torture, kill, or eat any of them because they are all loving and loyal creatures with their own personalities and feelings. When I yell at my dog he gets all ashamed and hides. That just shows he has emotions.
