Don't hold back it's power

As a veterinary nurse and someone who had worked on farms I do support the welfare rights of animals. However, if we wish to improve the welfare of animals it requires compromise not just a flat out 'you should not eat meat.'

Great for raising awareness and all, but we need solutions and arguments to offer up to make sure that the welfare of slaughter housed animals is higher, starving them for 12 hours isn't something I've heard of even when working with animals which go for slaughter.

To achieve this we need an increase in free range food to be sold, the problem is the consumer wants cheap meat, meaning crappy conditions. If there was a legislation which could be upheld the animals wouldn't be in poor conditions.

We live in a society of people wanting cheap things, corners are being cut by businesses, so we should be aiming for improvement and compromise, my question to you is Have you any ideas to improve welfare for animals in slaughter houses?

Like small mammals and reptiles? Sea monkeys are awful just go to a local pong and get some tadpoles

What animals do you ship? Also have you seen the amazing Spider-Man? The article reminds me of that film.
