I think all "food" animals should be treated fairly while they are alive, but as for giving them before drugs before slaughter, are you kidding me? Like anyone would want to eat a turkey with more added drugs or hormones.
But they already have lots of added hormones that are horrible for you to digest in the first place. What's another one matter? And there's other ways to kill humanely -- being shot in just the right place, or taking an axe to birds throats to kill them instantly. And either way I was just trying to make the point that the animals suffer when they die. I had no idea before I went veggie, and maybe it is just because I am young, or maybe because I am an optimist, but I'm not going to put up with that. I can't support that!

I still don't think it's just another job. Just because they're raised for food? So what, it's still cruel.

Oh, and as far as them being treated fairly -- they usually aren't, and by buying the companies' "products" that do not treat their animals fairly, you are supporting it.
