To supporters of PETA and related orgs., do you consider...?
this wrong? My father owns a small farm. Now it's not a business or anything, just a hobby of his. Sometimes he raises chickens. Now, these chickens run around a large area on the farm, protected by a fence to keep out the foxes and other predators, etc, but not quite the hawks. They just run around and eat up nasty bugs like ticks, etc (which protects my legs!) and of course grains. Sometimes they do get loose and go off in the woods to lay their eggs, though can't say I have ever seen them hatched, likely gotten snatched up by predators. Anyway, they're pretty much free, and they do have a coop, a very large clean one, and we collect eggs from them. We don't even sell them off to large companies that mistreat them. They are specifically for our family, well, my grandparents too and the tenants.They aren't exactly suffering from high mortality rates or being butchered or suffocated or electrocuted alive. So, do you consider my family's "farming methods", if that's what I can call it, as an example of animal cruelty/exploitation because we eat their eggs? I'm just trying to get an understanding of where you stand; usually, I see it on the extreme end and some of it (not all) borders on ridiculousness or one-sidedness.
