PETA (and some other AROs) has the feeling that animals are better off dead than to live in "horrible inhumane conditions". So, no they wouldn't have a problem with all those birds had to be killed with their philosophy being as it is. But don't forget, that same feeling encompasses us and our dogs since we "force them to breed and have puppies" and "force them to show and do all those things they don't want to do"... Not to mention their feelings on kennel-kept dogs... They don't care about any economic repercussions that happen from their actions. In their minds (& as many as they can plant the idea in) it will be cost of living increases, or corn is high, or soya, or the general economy, that brought the price of eggs up, certainly not as a reaction to their actions. The only ones who come out good from all this are the chickens. I'm kinda happy about that at least Jen P & the Pack glad to pick eggs out of a nest these days. :) JayDee's Proud-Haus Shepherds/Proud K911 www.jaydeesphs.com Committed to the Total Dog you can be Proud of!!!
