Summary of Mark Bittman article

In Mark Bitttman's article, he discusses the difference between the way domestic animals are treated and how other animals are treated. He talks about how we tend to favor and only treat domestic animals with love and care. When there is an animal that we generally end up eating, we don't necessary care how it was treated before hand as long as it tastes good in the end. Also, when it comes to these kind of animals, farmers may abuse the animal and treat it as though it does not have the same emotions as a household pet may have. He uses an example of the punishment received for killing a pet hamster, when everyday an animal is treated poorly and killed in order for us to eat.
