Well 196 got some uptake in terms of animal cruelty posts, but it gives a good highlight to us about this issue.
Typing as a meat eater.
As a fellow meat eater, I appreciate the spotlight being shown on the cruelty of the meat industry at large, as well as you do. It has made me more conscious of my meat consumption, and I have reduced my consumption of it. It has also made me aware of sourcing more ethical meat from local butchers that are supplied by local free range farms.
I hope that this awareness continues to spread, and it helps speed up the development of things like lab grown meat and other more ethical sources of meat, in general.
Healthy property prices could greatly help too, in terms of having more locally nurtured chickens as an example.
