Indeed, the old statement that we should all become vegetarians if we care about animal welfare is an easy throw away comment that doesn't help solve the issue.The main problem is that many animals bred for meat are treated as products, not animals, but then is this any different from the many people, especially in the far east working in factories and treated like robots?.Unfortunately, there is no easy solution, especially in a world where greed & price rules.All we can do as mere consumers is make choices we feel happier with and think are right from what's offered to us, and those choices will be different for everyone.

If people really do not want animals to suffer then the best option is to not eat meat products rather than cringe about animal cruelty etc. Killing an animal in itself is cruel enough so either be a vegan or stop pretending to care about animal treatment!Me personally I enjoy non-veg so I would not be a hypocrite and moan about animal cruelty

Either be vegan or absolutely anything goes, is that your argument? Stop and have a think about that for a minute. You might realise what a ridiculous argument that is.

Wrong imo. It's more cruel to force an animal to lead a miserable life in a tiny cage for us to get eggs than it is to allow an animal to live a reasonably happy life before being humanely slaughtered for meat. I love meat and don't think it's unethical to eat it but I won't eat anything but free range eggs.

****. We are omnivores and we should and are designed to eat meat - our teeth tell us that. People can eat meat and still care that an animal is a machine in a factory, living with 0 dignity.

Out of principle I only buy free range british eggs, and have done for many years, because for the often minor price difference I don't see the need for eggs from caged hen anymore, but it's all personal choice, and for me it's one small change I could afford to make easily.One thing for sure, is that this is obviously a good price, and whether caged or free range, eggs are a very good for you and cheap ...and you can't beat a boiled egg with salt & pepper and of course soldiers!

Further to my earlier post.
You are right about what constitutes Life.
Everything on this earth and universe is made from the sane mixture of atoms and chemical bonds.
So technically everything is 'alive' in it's own way.
Just pointing out that an animal is higher pecking order than a plant and that a rock is lower than a plant is really a humam hypocritical way of looking at things.
I bet in some parts they would not give a fig how they were raised, they would be blessed just to have some.
Worrying about where eggs come from is to me a typical 'first world problem'. fueled by people who don't know any better. Get over it.

I have medical problems and eating eggs from caged chickens will definitely make me sick for 2-3 days, I can only have organic or free-range so there is a big difference in the quality. Not worth the risk at all to save a few pennies.

Because if you bother to read articles some free range chicken have an open space which is actually less than what caged chicken have.
Just because it's free range doesn't mean the chicken is doing laps round etihad stadium

Good deal I guess for what they are. However for those who tend not to care what they eat based on animal welfare, I would strongly recommend you try 'pasteured' eggs based on taste. (Free range & Organic is the closest you'll get in the shops). The difference in taste is astonishing, and they are also far more nutritious. A lot of people sell excess eggs at the bottom of their garden who let chickens run around during the day and forrage for food, which is much closer to their natural diet. These tend to be sold at very reasonable prices, typically £1 for 6. If you struggle to find them, try these http://www.clarencecourt.co.uk/our-range/burford-browns/ although they are a lot more expensive it'll give you an idea of the taste you are missing out on by eating caged, or even standard free range eggs.
Generally, the more orange the yolk the healthier the chicken and the tastier the egg.

"Humanely slaughter",is there anything humane in slaughtering?Is this an excuse to justify ending a life?Im sorry but such words are only used to convince others that slaughtering is justified if it's done to appease one's guilt of killing.I am practical and yes my point was not about keeping animals caged up for eggs etc but the hypocrisy that slaughtering is justified as long as it's done humanely.

I'm interested to see people suggesting Aldi shouldn't sell caged eggs, which supermarkets don't? I'm pretty sure Tesco, Asda and Morrisons all sell "Big Eggs" which are caged, amongst others.

I don't think you can comprehend what was posted.Rather than sparing some brain cells to derive the meaning of my statement,you seem to be drawing weird analogies. To be honest,I would not want to waste my time explaining as you are hell bent on drawing incorrect conclusions,but yes,if you kill animals to eat and moan about "cruelty while in captivity",perhaps you ought to rethink if slaughtering is bliss!

The battery ones definitely taste better and in any case oftentimes you'll be getting the horror of battery hens but pretending to yourself its ok. A bit like dropping bombs in syria...kill some women and children over there, ensure many people over here get killed in future retaliations and pretend youve done the right thing

You should read your own post. You're explicitly saying that anyone who eats meat and complains about animal cruelty is a hypocrite.
It's like saying anyone who uses a car shouldn't be able to complain about the VW scandal.

What gets me with vegetarians is they always moan about cruelty to animals but don't give any respect to the vegetation they eat which is also a living thing.
All because it doesn't walk, crawl or look at you with big eyes doesn't mean it's not alive.
To me vegetarians place animals above the plants they eat which to me means they are bigger hypocrites than anybody.

If you read my post correctly,I have mentioned that "killing an animal in itself is cruel", so I am not condoning animal cruelty rather emphasizing that rather than people condemning the cruel treatment they should voice opinion about slaughtering.So No!its not a ridiculous argument if you don't jump to conclusions without understanding the post
