Are you kidding? On the most basic level - a chicken can feel pain...grass can't

Now I have even less respect for you, bring that level of ignorance into the arguement. Are you seriously telling me that grass is the same as a chicken? Fucking hell, with brains like that how do you walk down the street without falling over.

And 50 eggs a week?! Correct me if I'm wrong but you have one daughter, if you have a partner then that makes 3 of you. Thats 16 eggs a week each. Thats a lot. You can make cheap and nutritious meals from other ingredients than eggs. What about vegetables and pulses? Is eggs all you can cook??

I live with my partner and we buy 6 eggs a week. I use them for baking, and any left over is eaten on the weekend for cooked breakfast. Like I say eggs are a luxury, I respect where they came from and only ever buy free range. At the moment we can't keep chickens, but as soon as we move house we will and then they will be truly free range.

I don't know why I'm busting a gut to make a difference when there's fucking retards like katralla who clearly don't give a shit about a living creature. No you don't have a heart if you can let animals live a life of cruelty so you can eat an obscene amount of eggs every week. You disgust me

A Chicken may be able to feel physical pain but it is still a mindless automaton.

If I were going to resort to immature name calling, I would say that you are the retard, wasting your energy on caring about eggs and chickens when there are much more important things to think about and campaign for first.

Funny how a lot of die hard vegetarians always like to provide evidence of animals being killed when trying to shock me into changing my mind. I've been hunting since a kid, used to keep chickens and have reared a couple of cows for slaughter in the past. Im under no illusions where meat comes from and that it was once living creature. I still eat meat though.

Where possible I will buy free range chcken and happy pork, something that's quite easy for me to do living where I do and being friends with many people who keep such animals. However I don't go to stupid lengths to make sure everything I eat is happy. I don't worry too much about where the eggs and bacon is from when I buy a English breakfast at a cafe for instance.

Even if it is a 'mindless automaton' that isn't able to fall in love, or grieve, or whatever makes a human human, if it can still feel pain, then isn't it worth saving them that pain..?

Not really, i eat 2 eggs a day for breakfast. So times that by 3 that's 6 eggs a day, 42 eggs a week. Take into it if you bake etc. then maybe slightly higher than average but not shocking. Don't really fancy vegatables on my toast nor baked beans so after a hard very early start down the stables scrambled egg on wholemeal goes down a treat and yes i can cook more than eggs thanks.

And no matter what the opinion resorting to calling someone a retard and thick as fuck isn't exactly going to get anyone to understand the cause you're trying to highlight?

I'm like Skive, i buy free range and happy meat because i'm in the country and got friends who supply stuff like that.

I buy my cider from a farm up the road- does that make a me a better person? lol

[Carolina]

No it probably just makes you much more drunk on home farm brewed cider

It's all relative really isn't it. I'm a hypocrite anyway. I buy free range but i'm a barbarian as i go shooting and stuff Personal choice. Although i'll probably get called a retard next, ah well, won't be the first time
