I find it unfortunate, because so many people I know are quite fond of eating meat - and I really would prefer they be able to easily acquire meat that didn't involve cruelty. It doesn't have to.
It's also on my list of reasons that the US is not a Christian nation. The point of "do not boil a kid in its mother's milk" should be a general - sure, eat animals and their products, but treat them with respect. And that general concept seems to have gotten badly lost. It's a shame. It's one of the few concepts from religion that I think could be quite nice if properly applied.
