I was making a funny and you should watch the parrot film as it's really quite incredible. The chickens I raised would qualify as free range. My cattle were outside on dirt daily and pastured by night except in the winter. Please don't try and convince me that I was abusing my animals. You take a couple of clips from some poorly run farm and lump us all into the category of animal abusers and that is nonsense and it is what gets my blood pressure rising. As to the intelligence and ability to feel pain well I imagine anything that is alive has an intelligence and can feel pain. But I am the master of my domain and so I'm going to eat the animals that are here for my consumption. You choose not to and that is fine, but I'm not going to change, sorry. And since I know where all of my meat comes from, some of which actually qualifies as organic I know nothing I'm eating has been abused so this whole topic is really a non issue for me.

Want to know what your dogs are saying? Thought this was humorous; Service Helps Dog Owners Interpret Barks Thu May 12, 8:55 AM ET SEOUL, South Korea - South Koreans hoping to communicate with man's best friend could be getting help soon from their cell phones. KTF Corp., a South Korean mobile phone operator, said Thursday it will begin offering a service that will enable dog owners to know whether their pets are feeling happy or sad. The users must first connect to Internet with their cell phones, and then register information of their dogs such as the breed and age. The service will then record the dog's bark. The owner will receive text messages telling them how their pet is feeling, such as "I am happy" or "I am frustrated." news.yahoo.com
