Mike,
I did correct my initial post already few days ago, but it seems it is still not clear. I see no reason at all, why the argument quoted from your post doesn't also apply to breed animals. Or is it fair to put a breed animal "in a cage for the rest of its life"? - I don't want to offend you here, but I can't get the logic behind this argument.
I am not in a position to critcise anyone owning an animal at all - still eating meat (from animals which are kept under horrible conditions quite often). But I am strongly against keeping any animal in totally inadequate conditions like too small cages,etc. - independent of their origin and their destination!
