       For one thing there are some who have lives of negative value in every   
   group   
   including groups where the vast majority of the animals appear to have lives of   
   positive value, like broiler chickens and grass raised cattle. Most of them   
   appear to have decent lives, but some don't for whatever particular reasons.   
   Then in other groups the negative aspect is probably greater than the positive,   
   like with caged egg producers and probably sows in gestation and farrowing   
   crates. However I'm also aware that though farrowing crates probably cause life   
   to be of negative or at least reduced value for the sows, they make life of   
   much   
   greater value for the young pigs. You people can't appreciate such details, but   
   some of us are able to.
