This is essentially a video of what happens to male baby chicks in the world's largest egg-laying breed hatchery.
Now, I eat meat and cannot STAND vegans/vegetarians who shove their way of life down my throat, but this thread isn't really about food choices...
It's more about, what can I do about this?? Know exactly where I'm getting my eggs from, for a start, I guess.
I suppose if these and other factories were more humane, the price of animal products would soar, which is fine with me and a lot of people because it means better treatment of animals. I wonder how long other consumers would put up with that, though. Or even if we achieved a level of humane treatment of animals across the board, I wonder if some companies would try to sneak in bad treatment to lower the price of the products.
Edit: AHA! I forgot to post a link. Brb. Ah ok there we go.
