The Next Time You Eat Chicken

Well I dunno, I wouldnt want to swarmed by all those chicks and pecked to death. Man that sounds nasty.
Fixed
Its a vaccination injected into the fluid around the chick. Protects them against a common disease.
Know all this since the age of 5 as both my mother and father worked in the industry whilst I was primary school age and would often go with my dad into the hatchery and massive chicken filled sheds.
Bit I never liked was when they burnt the beaks of the chicks to stop them doing damage to one another, smell is horrendous.
Still eat loads of chicken btw
Same. I'd never buy battery chicken though.
Only initially, once all or most 'wild' humans were taken care of the future ones would know no better, they would have little intelligence and be worse off than cavemen if treated so, isn't it the same for animals? They were once wild and would fight but now they don't even try because they know no different, such things are disturbing to think about.
I won't link to it but theres a video on google called earthlings, its sad and sickening how life can be treated on this planet, i know in nature things eat other things but humans do it on a different level, the mass production for food is wrong, humans should learn to consume less than half of what they use animals for and it should always be done with no suffering and some quality of life, in the future i hope its done artificially.

thats what I say , just before I put a dead one in the oven at gas 5
Nah, I've watched all the stuff, cattle slaughterhouses, the works, still love my meat, it's just damn expensive
me too, I've seen allsorts of nasty stuff but it hasn't put me off eating any meat
I did feel a bit sorry for the battery hens when I watched hugh fearnlys program about it but when I see a premium free range chicken for £8 and then see a £2.50 chicken I always buy the cheap one
I did try a freee range but it tased the same tbh
I agree, at least the ones I saw were in a huge shed which although busy allowed them to move around. Keeping them in tiny cages they way battery chickens are is disgusting.
I have not looked but I doubt I or many would be. You cant not live in the countryside and not know what goes on.
Wtf of course it matters, nothing should suffer if at all possible, we have the intelligence and empathy (you would hope) to know better and prevent any unnecessary suffering in the world, no animal should have to endure crap all their life, its bad enough they have it taken so another can live, at the very least these animals should be treated with care and respect for what they provide.
Since when was empathy natural, or ever occurred in nature?
And don't use the argument that humans are "above" nature and evolved empathy through intelligence and conciousness because that will backfire on you; if you say we're above animals in that way, then you are conceding that we are concious of our actions/feelings in a way animals are not - in which case the animals don't know what is happening to them.

not everyone thinks the same way as you
I don't think too much how an animal is treated before it ends up on my plate, and to be honest I don't care a great deal until I read or see some examples of poorly treated animals, then I feel a bit sorry for them but by the next day this is forgotten and I go back to eating meat again without a care in the world
