Given the number of "what about the meat industry" comments on here, I want to speak as a vegan and give you my express permission to be morally outraged about careless research causing animal suffering, even if you are an omnivore. And I wish all of the people here arguing that you need to stop eating chickens to be upset about this a very, "either convert fully to veganism yourself or go away and stop appropriating vegan arguments in an effort to try and get people to care less about animal wellfare." I would love for all of you to be vegan, but you are absolutely allowed to care about animals before you become vegan. I don't care if you're hypocritical, please do not use the existence of veganism as an excuse to turn off the empathy centers of your brain. No vegan is ever going to tell you not to care about animal suffering just because you don't care about it perfectly consistently in every area of your life. That is not what veganism is about.
