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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

A dollar more is a lot in these hard times.

Cage Free eggs are also a lot safer. Cage Eggs you have chicken cages stacked... So chickens at the bottom get shat on and get sick... But still lay the eggs that are then collected.

I never said you were better off dead, I said you're an idiot and suggested it was probably genetic. I bet you need jokes explained to you too. Anyway, your "I'm going to stick to what I think regardless of what others say" attitude is really the same as saying "I don't listen to reason from others, logic and knowledge have no place in my life".

Tell him that he's ugly and therefore deserves to suffer.

The reason there are caged chickens is because it is more economically beneficial for the producer. Fitting five chicken cages stacked on top of one another is more efficient than five cages spread on the floor. Producers only care about making money, but it's not like their goal is to be cruel to animals. I agree animal mistreatment is wrong, but who are we to judge when all the companies are trying to do is make more money? In a world of money, economics wins out over compassion. Its sad but true.

Why would one hate chickens with such a passion?
