Mary, Thanks for your comment and for providing the link to the article. In my view, while indeed there are ways to mitigate aggression, the welfare problem is far from solved. I’m still not convinced that gestation crates for short periods of time are out of the question.

It’s also better for human health and the environment.

Take that, McWilliams (and who elected you Pope of Nope?) Nice refutation, Angelique – even the vegans have to accept that grazing animals on pasture is one of the most promising solutions to multiple problems like soil health decline, water loss, pollution, global warming, yatta, yatta (pick your poison).
