I agree - it's totally horrendous. That's why I pay nearly 4 times the price to get my chickens from a local free range organic farm where the chickIens are reared naturally with loads of space and allowed to roam free until they're humanely killed. The eggs are also free range organic. I also get my beef and lamb from free range organic farmers. I eat meat (corpses). That doesn't mean I'm not against modern factory farming methods.
