I’ve spent years in chicken houses, hatcheries, gathered eggs by hand. Hot, nasty work several times a day! This is after all Tyson, Simmons, George’s, Peterson Industries country. Peterson is now sold to Simmons.
I’ve debeaked chickens, had rotten eggs blow up in my face and hands just like small grenades and counted millions of chicks.
Thankfully I didn’t live all my life doing that.
Again, those who don’t raise chickens tell those that do how to raise them. Same for hogs and cattle.
Some farmers are responsible and kind, but some are not. Those who fail to meet minimal standards of care are responsible for society having to step in and establish standards. It is unfortunate, but where we are.
Oh, and the same goes for landlords and housing rentals—because some landlords don’t meet minimal standards, society has to set and enforce such.
Oh, but yes, PETA and the like are totally juvenile and irresponsible with their sometimes outrageous demands.
