Before Cardinal Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI, he gave an interview in which he deplored the “industrial use of creatures” such as hens living “so packed together that they become just caricatures of birds.” Unfortunately, right now, tens of billions of chickens are being forced to live this way; indeed, mankind’s realm is full of unnecessarily suffering animals.
在拉辛格枢机主教（Cardinal Ratzinger）成为本笃十六世前，他接受了一次采访，在采访中他谴责“生物的工业使用”，比如母鸡生活得“如此‘憋屈’，活像是讽刺漫画上的鸟类。”不幸的是，如今，上百亿小鸡被迫以这种方式生活；事实上，人类的领域充满了毫无必要地受苦的动物。
