I'm kind of torn on that issue. While I think it's horrible, I don't think it's any worse than what would happen to them in the wild. Ripped apart from slowly and eaten alive by a bigger animal. Or perhaps starving or dying of dehydration. Still, I have cut back on my meat and buy eggs and other products from humane places.

I think there is a big difference though in the two scenarios. One is killing an animal for nourishment and other things. The other is torturing an animal for fun and nothing else.
