Koch Foods--extreme cruelty to chickens

[Catherine]

I hope with all the publicity from Mercy For Animals, the lack of protection for chickens will get a reaction.
People have this idea that some animals don't feel pain and distress.
They used to do surgery on cats and dogs with no pain control. It has taken us a long time to become aware that animals feel pain.

Do you remember the chapter in David Copperfield where they discussed the lower classes and decided that they did not feel the way the upper classes do. They considered the poor people to be lesser human beings.

Now we struggle with the idea that some animals are lesser and feel less. It is going to take work to teach people that all living beings feel and deserve good treatment.
