“Hundreds of thousands of baby male chicks are either ground up alive or discarded like trash to die more slowly, piled by the hundreds, even thousands, on top of one another in bins every single day in order to satiate the egg and chicken-meat industry. The majority of male chicks are basically useless to both industries, so they are considered to be \u201ctrash\u201d. I can not tell you how hard I\u2019ve cried watching documentary video of countless live baby chicks, freezing to death in garbage bins out in the winter cold. So, which is the more brutal scenario? Is there a more brutal scenario?”<\/p>\n

This is more or less standard practice. We have the power to lessen this – by reducing consumption and thus demand for animal produce. Becoming vegetarian is just half of the picture. Veganism is to go the full mile! Let’s stretch ourselves ethically as far as we can for the welfare of all sentient beings.<\/p>\n
