cheaper than paying for the sq. footage for you to sit in

Yes, and this way we'll end up with factory-farm offices.
Honestly, back when we (in CA) had to vote Prop 12 in November, and I'm reading the previous law, which read,

> a person shall not tether or confine any covered animal on a farm, for all or the majority of any day, in a manner that prevents such animal from:

> (a) Lying down, standing up, and fully extending his or her limbs; and

> (b) Turning around freely

and then I'm sitting there wondering if this animal has more personal space than I do¹. Pretty sure I can't extend my limbs fully without impacting the desk next to me's area.

¹in between the quizzicalness of PETA not wanting better treatment for animals. I mean, I "get" their point, but it was ridiculously absolutist.
