They have taken a food source from the Bible and bred it so that it no longer has a life. They are so focused on weight gain that the birds can't see the sun, can't scratch for bugs or breath fresh air.

-
That was just horrible
-
poor chicken 🐔🐥🐤🐔🔪🔪🔫💣💊💉😱😱😵😢😢😭😭😭😭😫😫😫😫😫
-
simple solution eat more cheese
-
in order for factory farms to go away, everyone would pretty much have to stop eating meat 3 times a day, or get used to spending $15-20 a bird on chicken, and comparable amounts more for all other meat.
I just don't see that happening. -
I'm not a vegan or vegetarian but I dont like how the chickens are farmed in the huge dark crowded barn. How many of them have broken or injured legs, many missing feathers and can't do what is important to them. Chickens are creatures too like us, Cant they be happy and strong before they die? We need to eat but we need to think about how we farm animals and how they feel about their life in a dark, thilthy crowded, boring barn
-
Fucking vaginas. Please go vegan and eat other living, thinking things. It's okay if the living thing can't scream or cry right? Plants have defenses to being attacked, they can communicate with one another and they have memories... All scientifically proven. So how about you just stop eating and die? You'll save a lot of lives and do no more harm to the environment. I mean, that's what you people want isn't it?

I came for dirty old women, I got a different dirty bird...

None of this should be a revelation too anyone. My guess is the best approach is in the 3rd world where a home owner might have a handful of chickens and a pig foraging in the yard. The mass produced food in the USA is probably the worst in the entire world. It is fodder, more or less.

Perdue farms is the worst I've seen so many videos and they've been sued for lying about humane environments don't buy simple truth chicken or eggs
-
Buh-cawck
-
buy from local farms. Visit the farm and see how they do things. Vote with your food dollar
-
Just horrible
-
so, how you do you tell for sure in the grocery store you are getting a happy chicken from guy #2 versus concentration camp chicken from guy #1?
-
I hate chickens
-
Chickens are naturally ranging birds.
They are hard-wired that way.
The chicken farms are the antithesis of what makes a chicken happy.
On little farms and similar places, chickens have names.
Baby chicks are a big deal.
But, man, inside those chicken farms.
It's a hard-knock life. -
I raised some CornishXRocks in my hobby farm some 25 years ago. They are just lazy eating machines! They eat lying down, They get morbidly obese and die of heart failure or ascites. Many have legs not strong enough to carry them that they get "Bumble feet: They were tender good eating birds.and big at such a short time. And they were free ranging.
