Any imprisonment is cruel and unusual

So putting chickens in tiny filthy cages where they're so stressed out that they have to be debeaked, because otherwise they'll peck themselves to death, is cruel and unusual?

    Of course. Chickens belong in a yard or a pasture. You still occasionally have to cull the unnecessarily violent ones from time to time.

    People need to spend more time in the yard and not be in cages too. I live 50 miles from the closest town you might have heard of. I don't have neighbors. Part of my property is a registered wildlife habitat. Society sucks so I do my best not to participate any more than I have to.

    Well, most of the chicken and eggs at the store comes from chickens in those tiny cages. So are you going to boycott these evil chicken corporations?

    I buy eggs from the family up the road. They have a nice mix of colors.

    That's good, how about chicken meat?

    I have a couple pasture farms relatively close, certainly closer than going into town. I live pretty far out in the country and have better options than folks in the city for what meats I buy. Most of the meat my family consumes is harvested from the forest and processed at home or fished out of local lakes.

    Then why did you use yourself as a counterexample to this meme? Seems like you're not exploiting animals near as much as the city carnists are, so why reply? Just to ragebait?

    If this is still the same thread I think it us then I don't recall the meme saying a thing about animal exploitation. It said all leftist principles left anyone who eats meat, and I called bullshit. And holy shit I am not claiming to be perfect, but I do what I can.

    Edit: I might not have been all the way awake when I started talking shit. I just looked at the meme again and I really don't belong here. Fuck factory farming.
