Cold-Hearted Thoughts...

                Even though animal welfare remains nonexistent on factory farms, some people believe that providing excessive quantities of food remains the priority.   Because these animals are produced at such high quantities and rates, the price of the meat stays at a low cost.  Justine Brian proposes a provoking question, “Why would we want to make our food more expensive?”  Although this remains a fairly good point for people with financial instability, if we were to come together and buy free range products, the price of this meat would eventually become cheaper because of the greater demand.   As Brian continues with her allegations, she considers these animals to be merely a consumption product.  Some believe that “chickens are food and producing food efficiently is not unethical” (Brian).   This statement however, remains a cold-hearted one.
