I like eating chicken (rant alert)

What I don't like is the disturbing footage of what those chickens go through to get to me at a cheap price. I actually hate the word 'cheap'. I've seen the footage on TikTok and YouTube and it's really bad. They really suffer. They stew in their own poop and hardly have feathers. Their legs break, due to the how they are bred to make extra meat. That's all going on behind the scenes.

I think they should crank the price up for meat and let those animals live a good life before they are slaughtered.

The UK is supposed to be a first world country and shouldn't out source meat from cheap places that hurt animals.

I like meat and do not intend to be vegan. I'm fully aware that animals eat each other, so veganism is rather silly when you factor that.

I would like to see a law where the animals, bred for consumption are treated humanely, like actual living creatures.

If you can't afford humanely slaughtered meat, then eat vegetables.

Double the price of meat (hell, even triple it), but make sure the animals are treated well. No animal should suffer in a civilised society.

I know this has gone on for hundreds of years, but maybe it's time to stop it? It's 2026. 

Formo is a start up company that have found a way to make actual milk protein without subjecting cows to a life of torture. 

They don't have a voice. What's happening to them is on par with the holocaust concentration camps.

Kind of ironic as kosher animals suffer the same way.

This will probably be deleted, but it's not right that those animals have to suffer torture to reduce the price of their meat.

Meat should be a luxury if you can afford it. 

How can anyone justify the torture of animals to increase profits?

It annoys me. 275 million animals are used for scientific experiments every year. For what? So eyeliner isn't irritating?

I know this post is naive, but what an ugly practice.

  • I rarely eat red meat now except perhaps lamb at Christmas or Easter and the odd mince steak dish. M&S still do RSPCA chicken which I get. I don’t eat pork. I wish I had the willpower to become vegetarian. I tried it for a few weeks but got a craving for chicken. I’ve cut down on animal products but it’s not good enough.
