    Apparently, a real book cover.

    I was gonna do a parody, but I'm just speachless. This is worse than maggot infested legs and shitting dick nipples, now I'm off to apply some baking soda to my eyes.

    You know for some reason I had a feeling those images were destined for the Banana Thread. I even checked to see if anyone had posted them here yet and waited a few minutes before I posted. Sorry.

    As long as they get posted, man, that's all that matters.

    In related news, this one reminds me of this old thing:

    That text is from the novel Hannibal, describing something that Mason Verger did.

    I hope to any god that is listening that it's a joke. The idea of someone doing that with a straight face is horrifying.

    No you idiots, that isn't the reason why to choose a Vegan diet, that's the reason to choose a CRUELTY FREE diet from renewable farming methods and why I support my local farmer's market.

    God honestly. People show these videos and is all "THIS IS WHY VEGAN IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO" when no, it is not. This is the reason why we need to fix factory meat farming, not stop eating meat all together. I know with those chicks that they get rid of the males because they are useless as egg producers and their meat is inferior to chickens especially bred for meat, but I can't help but think that those roosters can be put to SOME USE SOMEWHERE. It just seems like such a waste to just grind them up and dump them.

    It is always high school on the internet.

    I think it's more humane to drop them into the grinder.

    Other than that I don't know what else you would use them for. Alarm clocks?

    I think it would be more economical and realistic solution to come up with some way to ensure that hens only give birth to females, or to be able to tell whether or not the chick will be male inside the egg.

    Let them lead youthful lives, chasing hot hen tail around a farm and then WHAM. Pet food. (At least let 'em get bigger before you kill them. More to go around.)

    The problem with that is, how much does it cost to feed and take care of a rooster compared to the profit you'd make from the pet food? Plus having all these roosters running around would mean that you'd need land to accommodate them. Land that could be used for something more useful.

    And what is worse? Killing them moments after they are born, or letting them live their lives and then killing them? Is it the fact that they are cute babies make killing them any worse?

    I know with those chicks that they get rid of the males because they are useless as egg producers and their meat is inferior to chickens especially bred for meat, but I can't help but think that those roosters can be put to SOME USE SOMEWHERE.

    I actually read an AP article about this video after it was released (last week i wanna say?) and while yes, these chickens are bred specifically for laying eggs, their meat is not inferior to that of chickens raised for meat. They are just not as cost-effective as meat chickens, because chickens bred for meat are designed to get fat enough to slaughter and sell as quickly as possible to the point where they are useless for any other purpose. They're legs can't support their weight after they're more than a few months old. THAT is what cost-effective means to the companies harvesting them. The hens born in the egg hatcheries are designed for egg-laying, but their meat isn't any worse if they prove inferior layers once reaching adulthood (pet food!). The males, on the other hand, don't get fat enough QUICKLY enough to satisfy the corporations' bottom line. Incidentally, that last sentence was the only thing in the AP article mentioned...the rest I've gleaned elsewhere in bits and pieces over time, so feel free to call bullshit on anything else I said.
    Honestly, I've been a vegetarian since I was eight years old and I don't really have a problem with them throwing male baby chicks in a grinder. It's preferable to the lives they would live otherwise. And I don't really have a problem with euthanizing useless domestic animals. It's a fact inherent to domestication in the first place.
    It's the second part of the video that most disturbs me—the part where the long process of a life of torment for the hens begins, with their beaks being cut off by lasers, and the way they are treated by the workers. "Once they get wet they're no good"? This is like the definition of how these animals spend the rest of their lives being treated. The BOTTOM FUCKING LINE. Any of you who have worked for a big corporation, been fucked by a big corporation, taken a look at the atrocities big fucking corporations fund, may understand a little bit how it feels to be the chicken, there, because that's how they'd treat their "Human Resources" (a dehumanizing category if I've ever heard one) if they thought for a second they could get away with it.
    The basic fact is: meat today is cheap, and treating animals like machines is why a whole chicken is $13. Imagine to what degree you must cut the costs of raising an animal for at least a year to make it's meat worth only $13, including at least a %30 profit.

    Also:

  28. Yeah I don't have a problem with the chicks being ground up, as it probably IS the most humane way to euthanize them that isn't ridiculously expensive (I doubt they feel a lot once they get tossed into that thing, it's pretty quick), but it just seems like such a waste of meat. Surely something can use that? I don't know, it feels wasteful.

    And you can't really keep a big flock of roosters the same way you can keep hens, anyhow, as they're territorial and will fight the other roosters.

    The cutting off of the beaks, is that just so they won't bite people? What's the purpose of that besides causing infections and chronic pain?

    To keep them from pecking each other to death.

    Keeping hens caged in tiny, enclosed areas like the ones typical of factory farming creates a lot of problems. "Pecking order" is a literal way chickens establish dominance over other birds in the flock. In the wild, or in the open, a chicken at the bottom of the pecking order who would be tormented by other birds could always run away to escape, so it isn't as bad. When hens fight in cages however, there isn't anywhere for them to go, ones at the bottom of the order get ganged up on by the others and killed.

    Yeah, I'd bet money that the baby chick slurry that comes out the other end of that thing (which, once again, I'm really disappointed we didn't get to see) is used for something. In all seriousness, there's a very good chance it's fed back to the chickens. More likely, though, it's probably sold for use in fertilizer.
