>I've never heard of chickens being force fed, though they're subjected to enough other atrocities but according to P.A.W.S and P.E.T.A
frequently turkeys are force fed much the same way Fois Gras Geese and Ducks are. I don't think it's fatal to the cause either though.
I'm a vegetarian, I was vegan but gave it up simply because I moved to a small town in a farming area and it's a lifestyle impossible for me to keep up here. If I ask for a soya latte I get looked at like I just said I have a bomb.
Unlike many vegetarians I'm not opposed to the killing of animals for food, I'm sickened by the way they are raised. I actually have more respect for hunters who do it respectfully and for food, than I do for people who say they could never kill an animal, and have no problem buying factory farmed meat.
