  Pampered? No, mutilated and killed.

  Getting your testicles cut off without painkillers isn't being pampered.

  Being forcibly impregnated every year - so you'll continuously produce milk - and having your calves stolen from you isn't being pampered.

  Being ground up or suffocated to death because you're a male chick born in a hen hatchery isn't being pampered.

  Being genetically engineered to be obese and unnaturally top-heavy (because of demand for "white meat")and grow at twice normal rate, so you can be killed at seven weeks old isn't being pampered.

  Being killed as soon as profitable isn't being pampered.

  All the aforementioned practices - and many more - are standard, well-documented practices on farms - large, small, conventional, organic.

  Killing animals for pleasure is not pampering them. You're in denial. To be truly *good*, practice the golden rule as widely as possible. Strive to refrain from participating in exploitation. Seriously look into a total vegetarian diet. Publish an article on how to go vegan (and have a great diet) in ten easy steps.
