Reply #15: well if you really want to know (and probably already do) what happens

[faithnotgreed]

to chickens of all types and other animals in all conditions look no further than the wonderful world of commercial pet foods

again, i only buy food for my cats that come from ethical companies. i tried to give them the prairie brand that comes from either organic or wild elements (they truly take cats natural diets and make it into food) but that taste lasted only so long for them then i think they may have gotten a bad batch or something because they just suddenly stopped eating it

but anyway everything we do and purchase etc is a choice. and natural always wins for me.
youre right on that the organic humane way tastes much better

what area is your relatives farm in? what are their markets
