Also arguing that it's ok to keep chickens in terrible conditions simply because they have never known anything else is also invalid...
...they have instincts, they know how they should behave naturally...

Why?

No, they don't.

I wonder what this says about us as a culture; "9 billion broiler chickens, 113 million pigs, 33 million cows and 250 million turkeys consumed each year in the U.S", the vast majority of them treated inhumanely while alive, then dispatched by someone hired by us, the 'consumer' to do this on a daily basis. To kill for us, all day long, every day of their working lives.
And what does it say about those who will simply state, 'but I lurve me a good steak!'; usually these are the same people suffering from heart disease caused in no small part by the difficulty involved in assimilating animal lard and suet into the human body and burning the extra calories off again.

Food is more than calories.
The food that you consume creates your psyche.
The food from tortured animals makes humans generally more tolerant of torture including humans.
The sins accumulate and cause misery to lot of humans, and take humans towards war and destruction.
Even humans that ate meat a few centuries back did so in small quantities. Bulk of the diet was vegetarian.
A heavily non-vegetarian diet is a modern phenomenon. It's result cannot be good.

I am disgusted by the way fruits and vegetables are ripped from their roots, torn from trees and tortured by slicing and dicing them before being consumed.
It's heartless and I wish people would stop doing it. Aren't we as a society better than this? Come on people stop the mindless violence just for the pleasure of a salad.
This must end now.
God has made plants as food for humans and animals. There is no question of worrying about pain in plants.
4th question:
Can I SEE what it looks like on a planet with a higher evolution...
YES!
HERE YOU ARE....
In an instant, I was there on another planet! I was able to see my body there (I can't see my body in the light). I'm in the presence of people and am able to TALK TO THEM! HOW GREAT, I THOUGHT! They where amazed to see me in front of them. I was in some sort of city with flat ground, there were buildings with no windows nor doors, just like big boxes. They had a special way to enter them but it wasn't very important for me to know it! We where communicating with voice, but through the minds (telepathic), I was able to understand each word (in French to me) and while I was talking, I know I was using another language with them. This was all done automatically.
They where asking me where I come from...They wanted to see in my mind the stars I could see from my planet! The result was good! They where also asking me where on earth I was born, what was the area I liked to see and what I liked to do on earth...I told them I was born in a village called Caplan...I like scuba diving in Port Daniel and New Port, Quebec. They wanted to see in my mind what it looks like and a map of those areas! They asked me to show them... If I wanted to. The result, again, was good as I was capable of mentally showing them the map! They asked me where I was taking the energy to survive; I knew right away they where talking about food in a strange way! I told them about the plants that we eat on earth and then they also said: Are you also eating what used to be alive? I said yes.
They told me: We knew there were primitive civilizations but not as bad as that!
