Oh wait, pardon me. They're small aside from when they're produced to be so big that their legs can't hold them. Just so you can eat them. Nevermind, I guess they AREN'T small. Just in pain. Normally I won't make people feel bad about eating meat, but your reasoning is so incredibly illogical. I don't even know why anyone tries, to be honest.

They are so small that I doubt you would even get much meat in the first place. But I personally wouldn't eat cat and I don't see a reason anyone else would if they had delicious beef and other meats around.

Because the meat we eat from the supermarket is from these animals. So are the eggs.
