I refuse to eat eggs while the process of chick culling is used.
United Egg Producers claims they have a "goal of eliminating the culling of day old male chicks by 2020 or as soon as it is commercially available and economically feasible."
Why not discover a cheap way to sex the eggs so they don't need to incubate them? You know, be proactive instead of whine.
Jack Carter
This doesn't bother me. I'll keep eating meat faggot.
Charles Powell
That's literally everywhere in the world faggot.
Julian Scott
You do realize chickens didnt used to lay 300 eggs a year either... you didnt get eggs unless it was easter. Then you were eating pickled egg most of the year that had been hard boiled.
Stop being a faggot. Who gives a shit what some rich old asshole thinks?
Parker Thompson
>as soon as it is commercially available and economically feasible That's never. Wait until OP finds out how many mice are killed by combine harvesters.
Jack Stewart
Why don't they let the chicks grow and butcher them later? Seems inefficient to grind them when they're babies if they'll become a sellable product when they're older.
Isaac Wilson
Male chicks. You ever buy rooster meat in the supermarket?
Hunter Green
How the fuck should I know?
Adrian Evans
Why not get some hens, and collect their eggs yourself. I have 12 hens and get 5 to 8 eggs per day. I give eggs to friends because I can't eat them fast enough.
Because they provide zero eggs up to butchery, which would be how they'd pay for themselves. And the ground up remains get sold as pet food. For keeping them to be economically viable they need a job that hens can't do which means becoming cockfighters is the only option for them but that's banned. They could be released into the wild or given to vegans to look after.
I like this idea, because I'm a fan of violence. Watching city kids talk about farming is pretty entertaining.
Jonathan Taylor
i always thought the males get raised for meat and the females become laying hens but i guess the factory farms only use the meat chickens for meat now because its more profitable
Luis Gonzalez
Meh, let me know when they stop harvesting flesh from American newborn boys, and them maybe I'll care about your dumb animal shit.
Ye I only eat fish but I'd like to start eating eggs if they would cut this shit out
Elijah Campbell
thats bullshit having raised duel purpose breeds i ate males all the time and living in asia for years i can tell you that 90% of the meat chickens in my village were roosters
Jordan Parker
REEEEEEEE GENDER ASSUMING NAZI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andrew Hill
Isn't the egg industry mostly the chicken meat industry, not vice versa?
Chase Walker
I prefer roosters. They are larger and taste the same. Cooked a 12lb Jersey Giant rooster last weekend.
no. different breeds of chickens. The meat chickens are a fast growing frankenstien breed that couldn't live to one year old. Most egg chickens are smaller Leghorns.
William Hill
Layers are ALWAYS turned into meat when they're "done being productive" though.
Nolan Martinez
And aren't white leghorns both a meat and layer breed?
Why cares? Chickens are some of the most r-selected animals that exist. They are literally evolved and bread to be food. They are born to die. Why feel guilty?
Cooper Carter
true but its a lesser quality meat
Logan Peterson
yes but they are small. about 4lbs max
Justin Ortiz
>living next to a slaughterhouse
Jordan Young
Isn't it literally the most commonly bred variety of chicken? Even for meat?
because the male chicks are being wasted due to decadence, a better system can be designed and ought to be
Robert Ramirez
Great movie, btw.
Oliver White
Chicks are silly animals so I wonder to what proportion the suffering created and conciously felt weights up. Would it be better to smother them under the wing of a robothen designed to make them feel comfy before they die? Now the grinder worker, thats a poor sod.
Evan Collins
Exactly. There is literally nothing wrong with eating eggs. The problem is and has always been agribusiness. Ethical choices can be made to only eat unfertilized eggs and selectively breed chicken varieties to favor female chicks. Same with cattle for dairy. Nobody does it because humans just don't give a shit in general about anything and have morbidly low IQs.
Well, no. The male chicks are destroyed because it's less wasteful to do that than to raise them. I suppose you don't know anything about roosters, but suffice it to say they're as mean as any other testosterone filled animal, and more territorial than most. Furthermore, the sort of "beta" roosters who lose in dominance competitions to other roosters become depressed and sickly. Often they kind of just die on their own, but you wouldn't really want to eat them.
As for selectively breeding varieties that have more female chicks than males, that concept is laughably naive. I suggest you educate yourself on how sex is selected in zygotes, and then you'll see why that's so ludicrous. It is perhaps possible to use some sort of genetic engineering or perhaps sex cell screening to breed more female chicks, but that's not only science fiction but sure to be prohibitively expensive. And then you eco-nut types would reject it as being unnatural anyway.
No, anons. I'm afraid that destroying male chicks as is done is simply the best solution. But fear not. They are put to use as pig feed or fertilizer. It is not a waste.
Carson Jackson
Meh. I could think of worse ways to die, it's all over in a split second.
Nicholas Ramirez
op you are a dumb faggot eggs are used to make everything fucking moron.
Anthony Green
I'm sure the majortiy of people against this are also vehement supporters of abortion.
Ryan Butler
Well I'm not
Andrew Morgan
Buy your own chicks, and eat fresh eggs everyday. It's not difficult.
Evan Thomas
harsh but 100% HONEST
James Hughes
>eat fresh eggs everyday I'd have to buy a shitload for that
Cooper Kelly
I've already offered the alternatives.
Thomas Martinez
But I like chickens. I don't like humans.
Juan Myers
Hey bud!.... Yeah you bud... Yea well you remember that onions you had to drink the other day after you watched Trisha get pounded by Big White cock yea... Well... How do I put this... I... I.. I cummed in it hope you enjoyed my cum you faggot nigger.
Robert Hill
Okay, I'll humor you. Why don't you link me to an example of "selectively breed chicken varieties to favor female chicks"
Andrew Ortiz
Didn't even know there was a sequel to the cow one.
Luis Perry
Nobody is doing it because it's not a concern because no human truly cares about animal lives. I covered all this already.
Jaxon Brown
No, no. Give me an example of the science actually working. Show me proof, not your head canon.
Adrian Wright
What are you retarded? Nearly anything can be selected for in breeding. Some hens produce more males than females and vice versa. The project could be nearly complete probably within 5 or so generations (that might be a bit optomistic - really depends on the quality of human doing the selection).
Andrew Lewis
>Some hens produce more males than females and vice versa. proofs?
>because humans just don't give a shit in general about anything and have morbidly low IQs.
we're all just dumb faggot apes who don't deserve anything. no, really, it's true. we're not even mentally superior to chimps or beetles and make amoral dumb choices in life that really suck dick.
This is what humans are spending all their fucking limited brain power and energy and time doing. Tricking animals into complying with being destroyed. Not fixing their broken societies, not scaling back the destruction they're doing to the world. No. Tricking animals into more readily accepting death.
Noone is ever allowed ever again to deny that humans are demons who literally work for the force of death.
Nathaniel Wood
have you considered investing in a chicken coop you urban pussy
Aiden Thomas
My wife's Nebraska relatives held onto the chicken's body, stepped on the head and pulled it off that way.
Blake Allen
yes lets throw them out into the wild instead where they can live free for all of 1 day before they starve if they havent already been fucking eaten
