Today, I tried to be kind to animals and get my dad to buy cage-free eggs. When I told him it was dollar more, he started yelling and making a scene in the middle of the store, saying that chickens are ugly and they deserve to suffer. FML

Well if you're so concerned about it buy them yourself...not to sound harsh but your dad obviously isn't on board

Chickens are not ugly! They are cute.

seems like building a cage would cost more than not...... cage free is a scam!!!

It sucks that your dad would overreact like that. Still, c'mon. I don't know how much you pushed it, but a dollar is a lot of money right now. All the grocery goods are going up in price enough already. Despite the fact that I have sympathy for animals, I would still be frustrated with you for requesting to pay this much more for food. It's a nice act, but do these things when you have the money to buy the eggs yourself or pay the extra to your father. Whether your dad cares about chickens or not, he probably can't afford (or at least doesn't feel like he can afford) to pay that much more for one carton of eggs.

Explain to him that if physical beauty is the determining facotor for this he deserves the tower of London 16th century style

Unfortunately, cage-free usually doesn't mean cruelty free... instead of a couple birds to a tiny cage, it's hundreds of birds packed into a warehouse-like space. If you want to know your eggs are cruelty free, buy from a local farmer or raise your own birds!

who cares they're chickens they are stupid animals

Yes EVERY animal is beautiful I am vegetarian Yes bugs are ******* cool to I like a lot of bugs I'm not single actually I'm in a long term relationship I'm not crazy I just have a huge amount of respect for animal life!!! As should everyone if you choose to eat meat you should still have compassion and respect at least buy free range like this person tried!!! YouTube from farm to fridge then maybe you will have a little more understanding how innocent animals suffer for you to enjoy something your body doesn't even need to survive
