On the day they’re born, all the fluffy male chicks born to egg-laying hens at hatcheries are gruesomely killed — usually by being run, while conscious, through what is essentially a blender. That’s because they’re useless to the industry. They can’t grow up to lay eggs, and they weren’t bred to be the fast-growing chickens sold as meat. www.washingtonpost.com/news/animalia\
“United Egg Producer’s decision to support the elimination of newborn male chick culling is a historic tipping point and will prevent the suffering of hundreds of millions of animals each year,” What is clear is that the United States may be among the first nations to do away with male chick culling.
Yet thousands of unborn children are dismembered each day while conscious even though they can grow up to productive and valuable citizens.
