I believe in an "expanding circle of us," but a chicken egg is not my moral equal.

    You are making the same argument as the LW's friend by equating factory farming with child labor. One may not approve of factory farming from environmental and avoiding unnecessary suffering to non-human animals but it is still in a different ballpark with child labor. They are still NON-HUMAN animals. And there are people, like the LW and like myself, who may feel compassionate towards animals but not hold them as equal to the suffering of human beings.
