So you're saying every plausible option for farming hens on a mass scale is unethical. It's a small flock in the backyard or it's abuse.

Understood. I will continue to be vegan, but with a new interesting fact to look into.

What counts as ethically raised for you?

I used to think vegetarians were illogical cowards, because as you point out dairy causes at least as much harm as meat does. These days, though, I've realized that they're being completely logical: they're causing less harm than they would if they still ate meat, even though their harm isn't zero. A vegan's harm isn't zero either, it's just comparatively negligible. It doesn't have to be black and white.

Oh, I meant more practically; what do you look for on the side of the box or the company's website or whatever to see if it's ethical?

You can’t ETHICALLY raise an animal for meat. There is nothing ethical about taking away a life for your tastebuds. Do better, bro.
