    There is also a massive chicken cartel in the US which dictates the laws so small farmers cannot abide by all the nitpicking rules.

      Inversely, most provinces have supply management of dairy and poultry products to insure a stable price for consumers and protect farmers from inevitable variable conditions.

          Don’t get me wrong I’m a Canadian lifer there’s lots we don’t do right but this here… I love our country. We aren’t completely subverted to American policies.

          That said now is when we should be shoring up those areas of our country that are at risk of American corruption.

              You are an animal abuser.

              this is a baseless claim.

                I tend to agree that people who eat meat and outsource the dirty work without a care in the world as to how it gets to their table are just as guilty as the operators.

                  one can care without an effective means to do something about it.

                  The conclusion that you are an animal abuser then becomes an unavoidable consequence.

                  no, you’re making a leap of logic

                  This is factually incorrect, and easily disproved with just the scantest effort.

                  if that were true, you could prove it, instead of claiming it’s easy to prove.

              You’re making an assumption about both that person and their ability to source ethical meat or dairy products.

                  Actually you called them an animal abuser. It’s like calling a film buff a sexual assaulter because of what goes on in Hollywood. It’s silly.

                  I understand this is an important subject for you but if you can’t detach your emotions from your replies then you end up insulting folk and making us all (vegetarians) look like idiots. Stop it.

              Every egg carton in my grocery says “cage free” (unless it’s free range). That’s got to be worth something
