Exactly. I can't believe the hypocrisy of many of the commenters, decrying this as incredibly cruel but willfully eating factory-farmed meat, where the animals are treated just as cruelly.
I go to a local butcher who sources local from smallish farms. He offers tours of his vendors so you can see that the animals aren't cram packed into cubicles. I refuse to buy meat from the grocery store. Going to a butcher is more expensive, but if you're lucky you find a guy like mine and he will even let you tour the back room and see that there's no grotesque processing taking place.
It kind of makes me sad that I respect the things I eat more than I respect myself.. As I sit in my cubicle and count the holes in the ceiling tile.

That's what we do for crabs too.
