Some benefits the cow's environment has over that of the hen:

1. fresh air
2. freedom of greater body motion
3. freedom to wander and change location
4. experience of raising young
5. greater visual experiences
6. longer life
7. opportunity to enjoy satisfaction of more desires

Can you think of any more? No, you can't. In fact, your job now
will be to show why those benefits are not benefits.
