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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was denounced for being a terrible person, because my family raises chickens, some of which we eat. I was then told how cruel I am for "killing innocent birds" and that "good" people buy their meat from the supermarket. FML
Today, as I fed my dog his dinner of chicken offal, a drumstick, a wing, a mackerel, and a raw egg, my dad bitched and moaned that I waste money feeding him meat instead of just buying the cheapest kibble at the store. FML
Today, I argued with my roommate about which eggs to buy: organic, pasture-raised, free-range, or AI-verified climate-positive. We settled on whatever was cheapest. They were $9. FML
Today, I was at the fish store asking if they were hiring. My stepdad decided to humiliate me by screaming at them repeatedly that I'm a good person and that I deserve the job. FML
Today, my dad got into an argument with the cashier about how overpriced the scented tampons were. FML
Today, I was in a store with my dad. He completely lost his temper and began yelling at the store owners. For some reason, he then removed his shirt in protest. FML
Today, my dad forced me to leave my empty shopping cart in the middle of a store, rather than return it to the corral. My dad’s word is law, and all I can think about is how much of an asshole I am. FML
Today, my son asked for candy at a supermarket checkout. I said no. He laid on the floor and began screaming as if I'd killed his pet rabbit. Other parents nodded at me in silent sympathy, while strangers judged me with their glares. I bought the candy. He still screamed. FML
Today, my vegan step-mom found out I ate at McDonald's yesterday. She gave me hell and asked me how it feels to give money to "murderers". All while my dad sat quietly by because he's too whipped to speak his mind. It wasn't even her house a month ago. FML
Today, I went to the supermarket to get some Easter gifts for my kids. At the register, I was verbally abused to the point of tears by the cashier, for having way too many items for the 12 items or less lane. I had 13. FML

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!

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
