What is this argument, exactly? "Your blog post was rude; therefore, I'm going to engage in immoral behavior"? I think this is a bad idea. Even if you disagree with the tone of the post (which, in my opinion, is entirely appropriate—the only sane way to discuss this horror), why not separate it from its content and think about it? If you're made uncomfortable or uneasy by the idea of baby chicks being ground alive, maybe you should devote some more thought into how your actions affect other living, conscious beings, rather that acting on totally misdirected "outrage." |
Unfortunately (or fortunately? I dunno) the video wasn't loading for me here. I'll check it out later, though.
As for the content, I actually sort of agree with the stance that buying eggs in the supermarket supports these types of practices. And I also agree with his compassion towards animals.
The "makes me want to have an egg feast" is not something I actually plan on doing. But it is a sign of my intensely bullheaded nature towards hypocrisy, authority, or any other type of dogma that people try to shove down my throat.
And I can agree that that is not one of my better qualities and is something I should consciously work on.
