Is dealing with animals ethically acceptable?

Principles in treating animals

Deciding whether something is or is not ethically sound partly depends on personal assessment. Basing your opinion on a principle, as we do, makes it much easier to decide.

Here too one's own conscience plays an important role. It is still your own responsibility whether or not to eat meat or dairy products. When these are products from factory farming, they are not ethically acceptable.
