The real problem with Chick-fil-A isn't their politics. The problem is that, given factory farming, eating chicken imposes more far more suffering on other sentient animals, pound for pound, than eating beef. (Chickens are much smaller than cows, & suffer more.)

Having grown up on an ordinary scale dairy farm (<100 head) and butchered a few chickens. I can say it's less about the animal and more about the conditions they are raised in. Factory chicken farming is more horrific than CAFO, but I accept neither. I'm happy to pay more.

Not to claim I'm a saint. When I'm on the road I'll still take what's convenient and tasty, but when I can I'll buy better raised protein that supports people that take care of their own (ownership is key here) livestock.

So instead, they live essentially in a state of abject slavery until their scheduled, often painful and terrifying death, at the hands of a moral agent. Hilarious justification for meat consumption.
