I’m not confusing anything

I’m making a point and the point is that Halacha needs to guide our sensitivities not the other way around.

You made an opening point that you can’t be cruel to animals . as the Gemara would say “pshita”

But then you said “I’d you see animals being abused do something about it”

What do you propose? Calling the police?

Then you implied it was against Halacha to buy eggs from certain poultry farms. Do you have proof for this?

I did see that argument being made by the conservative movement when they created their own “hashgacha” that only certifies poultry farms that are “humane”.

I applaud you for your extra sensitivity in the mitzva of tzar bal lchaim

But halachic definitions of what is considered humane is far different from current secular thinking
