Comment: "... in the Wild animals are ripped apart every moment of every day - day after day for a millenia."  Yes, they are.  But they are not in the care of humans,  And give it up with this "city-raised princess" crap.  It's an ad hominem that has no bearing on the matter.  I was practically raised in the bush and worked on farms in high school, including a white veal farm.  It's one of the major reasons I eat very little meat, and when I do, I do my best to avoid meat from factory farms.  There is no justification for unnecessary suffering -- the world will provide plenty of suffering for all of us as it is.  
My big person pants fit just fine.
