This is why I no longer bother to look at PETA links on this board. I figured out a long time ago than almost everything they put out regarding food production in this country is so far from the truth it's laughable. And yes, unlike some of the posters here, I grew up in the country and spent the first half of my life in and around farms.
The fact is, I would prefer animals to be treated in a more ethical manner and fed better feed (vegetarian, antibiotic-free) but I am not in a position at the moment to vote with my wallet and buy only free-range, organic, veggie-feed meat (it tastes better too). I am poor. If I want meat, it's going to have to be the cheap stuff. That said, I'm so poor I don't eat a lot of meat, period.
In this case, as in all cases, the answer is not extremism. Extremists are not taken seriously. PETA shows this to us time after time.
