  1. “Price acknowledged that the animals do enter a system that prepares them for mass consumption, but that process is strictly regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.”

    That unfortunately is a meaningless and erroneous statement. Animal conditions in factory farms are not regulated with any degree of appropriate attention. There are a huge number of horrible stories that anyone can find easily about downer cows, filthy conditions in slaughterhoses, lack of personnel to enforce existing laws, hormones and antibiotics given to fatten animals faster, animals kept in pens that cannot move, animals eviserated while still alive and problems in workers ignored by companies who hire illegals that cannot complain about conditions.

    And I am not a vegetarian or animal rights volunteer. These things happen because we are a “capitalistic” country that places corporate concerns and needs for profit before anything, including animal welfare. What a country!!!
