It seems like operators are afraid to think of chickens as living animals instead of production units. They can be raised and slaughtered humanely, it just has to be prioritized by the corporations who own these farms. I only buy eggs from farms where they are exclusively raised on pasture, and I seldom buy chicken meat anymore, because I don’t want to contribute a dime to the bottom line of companies that accept the suffering of millions of birds in exchange for their profits.

The animals we use for food deserve so much more than lives and deaths of agony so that people can have cheap eggs and meat.

I wish they would educate themselves and also show some compassion.
