My blood boils for a lot of things. I personally wouldn't torment an animal like that and think it's kind of abysmal, but at the same time I realize I'm splitting hairs while I sit here and eat the chicken I just fried yesterday afternoon. I don't think it's right, but somehow, I can't get as worked up over this as I can, say, about things like these:

Keep in mind, I'm not trying to belittle the point. I think it's abysmal. Just trying to offer a little perspective as to why this wouldn't move everyone in the same way.
