And I'd have felt just as cruel killing one that new the sweet feel of freedom.

Hear hear! I actually do care and have an interest, but I'll openly admit that figuring out where the meat in the food I've bought was sourced from comes at about number 5,000 in my list of priorities. If I worried about where every bit of food I eat came from, I probably wouldn't eat.

Wouldn't say I'm proud of it - it just doesn't figure. I've been on a pig farm - I know very well where meat comes from and what it looks like raw. I'm squeamish around blood, the rest doesn't bother me.

Awesome, going there tommorow. so will see if they still have some..

Free range is good for taste and texture but we aren't all loaded and sometimes you just don't have much choice.

Agreed and, I'm sorry if this offends anyone, I enjoy the taste, the texture, the aroma of meat. I don't have to have it in every meal but I do enjoy it and will carry on enjoying it and if price and my budget is an issue then I will buy cheaper meat than I would prefer.
As this thread shows, more people would at least consider free range meat if it weren't so expensive; people live within their means.

Seriously?! Talk about melodramatic

As a proud student (or someone who cares about animal welfare whichever you choose) i live my life out of that clearance bin last minute before supermarkets close. It's possible to pick up some amazing cuts, nice meat etc... For absolutely nothing in comparison to original price.
