Today, I tried to be kind to animals and get my dad to buy cage-free eggs. When I told him it was dollar more, he started yelling and making a scene in the middle of the store, saying that chickens are ugly and they deserve to suffer. FML

Today, I was denounced for being a terrible person, because my family raises chickens, some of which we eat. I was then told how cruel I am for "killing innocent birds" and that "good" people buy their meat from the supermarket. FML

Today, I was at the fish store asking if they were hiring. My stepdad decided to humiliate me by screaming at them repeatedly that I'm a good person and that I deserve the job. FML

Today, I was in a store with my dad. He completely lost his temper and began yelling at the store owners. For some reason, he then removed his shirt in protest. FML

Today, my dad forced me to leave my empty shopping cart in the middle of a store, rather than return it to the corral. My dad’s word is law, and all I can think about is how much of an asshole I am. FML

Today, my vegan step-mom found out I ate at McDonald's yesterday. She gave me hell and asked me how it feels to give money to "murderers". All while my dad sat quietly by because he's too whipped to speak his mind. It wasn't even her house a month ago. FML

Today, I went to the supermarket to get some Easter gifts for my kids. At the register, I was verbally abused to the point of tears by the cashier, for having way too many items for the 12 items or less lane. I had 13. FML

Today, I had to sit patiently at the checkout at work, listening to my own father rant about how the twinkies he was buying were "twice the size back in my day", and how "you could buy a dozen of these suckers for just 10 cents." He didn't stop there. No, he tried to haggle over the price. FML

Today, I told my son he couldn't have a toy. He threw a fit, looked me in the eye, and screamed, "Daddy's right! You are a bitch!" The whole store was watching. FML

Today, I thought the cashier said the new blouse I picked out was ugly as she was ringing me up. I'm really self-conscious about my fashion sense, so I snapped and started yelling at her. It wasn't until she was close to tears did I find out she said "lovely" not "ugly". So, that's another store I can't go back to. FML

You all do realize the OP of this thread backed down from his argument, right? Why are you all still harassing him?

I have to agree with 23 on this one the world doesent revolve around humans I think all life is equal every animal has feelings so why support cruelty?

104, I'd agree if their sentence wasn't: "Nothing you say or do will change the way I think or the way I conduct myself. " It implies there is no possibility in which their mind will be changed, rather than: "Nothing you have said will change the way I think or the way i conduct myself."

When did it become okay for money to be more important than compassion?

Aw! That stinks OP! But for everyone who is wondering what the big difference is, even if you don't care about animals at all, free range eggs are south healthier! I guarantee if y'all watch Food Inc. or something like it, you'll understand why people care how animals are treated!

FYL for your dad making a scene in the middle of the store.. But I'm leaning towards a YDI as far as expecting your dad to pay extra for the eggs. The way I look at it, just because you spent your money on cage free eggs, the caged chickens aren't benefiting. Being a realist here, You're not helping animals. It's really only a mental thing that keeps people buying cage free eggs.

My point exactly! The chickens whose eggs are already there have already suffered. It's not going to stop not even a little cage free or not.

The suggestion is that if we all only bought cage free and no one purchased the caged ones then the farmers would be forced to change how they keep their chickens. However, this reminds me of the gas station strikes and I'm pretty sure that never worked.
