What to do? I could find a new guy with twenty chickens. I could find a farm where I can go look at the chickens and verify that they aren’t in tiny cages and can do chicken business . But mostly, because I’m on a budget, and because none of my neighbors have twenty chickens, I buy tofu.

Abolition is an interesting concept. It seems very nonobvious to me that wild animals have higher welfare lives than domesticated animals. J: And I would say that many people would disagree with you directly

But let’s talk about at least three ways we can conceive of animal welfare. One is a net balance of positive to negative feelings. A second way of thinking about it is whether animals are performing natural behaviors. The third way is thinking about biological functioning, or just having good health.
