Tell her to stop eating chicken then, so she won't be part of or supporting such practices.my girlfriend was crying when she saw that on how it's made :/
Since when was empathy natural, or ever occurred in nature?
And don't use the argument that humans are "above" nature and evolved empathy through intelligence and conciousness because that will backfire on you; if you say we're above animals in that way, then you are conceding that we are concious of our actions/feelings in a way animals are not - in which case the animals don't know what is happening to them.
not everyone thinks the same way as you
I don't think too much how an animal is treated before it ends up on my plate, and to be honest I don't care a great deal until I read or see some examples of poorly treated animals, then I feel a bit sorry for them but by the next day this is forgotten and I go back to eating meat again without a care in the world
Animals feel pain, they don't "suffer". They don't think "Ohh my life has been one endless torment", like we would if we experienced a life of hurt. A second to a dog is forever, and forever is a second.An animals level of intelligence means nothing in this argument, it doesn't affect sensory perceptions of pain and suffering.
Not where food is concerned. Think how savagely lions, tigers, crocodiles and sharks attack and kill their prey. This is not keeping a dog just to beat up; this is immoral and pointless on different levels. But this is food, and we need a lot of it as efficiently as possible - or we die out.Well considering we are part of nature and can experience empathy then it would appear to be quite natural, also many animals show signs of empathy and care for their young and sometimes others of their species, so whats your point exactly?
If some aliens came and did this to us....lol just imagine.
Just cuz we didnt seem as intelligent.. its kinda harsh
Hippy.
Chicken = yum.

I took that by "suffering" you meant consciously and emotionally suffering due to the pain perceived. If you didn't mean that, then why did you say "pain and suffering"? Cut the smart actTo that and the rest my point still stands, also....

Actually, there is no concrete answer. But the neurophysical evidence we have backs my opinion, at the moment.It's so easy just to make stuff up and ignore scientific studies isn't it?
