Learning about factory farming is one of the things that led my wife and I to start raising our own chickens for the eggs. Now we raise most of the meat we eat, too (chickens, pigs, turkeys, etc), and I process the chickens myself. They're hatched here under a hen, not in an incubator, then live their whole lives here in a field under the watchful eyes of our Great Pyr guardians. When it's time, they're dispatched in the most humane way I could find.

Sometimes when we go to the supermarket, we forget that something had to die for us to get that meat. I've got no issues with killing and eating animals, but I have big issues with the way they're treated (and what they're fed) while they're alive.
