Letter to The NY Times

Reading Nicholas Kristof's "Is An Egg for Breakfast Worth This?" (Op-Ed 4.12.12) was more than food for thought. While the plight of animal suffering for our consumption has been the basis of Animal Rights group's newsletters, preaching to the converted has only made us angry. That the mainstream press is catching up and publishing these horrors is preaching beyond the choir to a larger audience whose naïveté and obliviousness perpetuates these creatures suffering as well as the people who work in the industry. An enlightened society is marked by awakened beings both great and small.
