Animal Cruelty Is the Price We Pay for Cheap Meat

No, it's the price that the slave animals pay for us.

I am not a vegan nor vegitarian, however I personally think we as species passed the border of decency long time ago with this.

I do eat less meat nowadays and certainly none from supermarkets and other cheap sources.

Agreed. I stopped eating mammals 20+ yrs ago due to this, am down ~50% on dairy, have a local egg guy where I can see the hens running freely at least, try to get cage free poultry and only occasionally, and go light and as eco as I can on fish. Also fair trade chocolate only now (slavery). It's far from perfect, but I feel like I have a tasty and healthful diet, and I'm willing to pay some more for it despite being a cheapo.
