I'm grateful that you say that (not OP). So many vegetarians/vegans are convinced anyone who isn't vegan hates animals, or is at least "worse" than them on some magical scale they came up with.

I fought for my state's free range chicken law, but I wouldn't fight for bans of consuming chicken or eggs. I would love a law that banned chick-killing (the practice of immediately killing all newborn chickens of the "wrong gender" when reselling chickens to farms or growing egg breeds). I'm sure they'd find a way around that. Despite that, I'll still eat chicken.
