Oh, Man! What a bunch of bleeding heart hippies! If you can’t stand the heat...get out of the chicken coop!
All the more reason this area is ripe for the pickin’ for my free-range, organically raised eggs from cage-free, happy hens! I’m so HAPPY to make a buck off of these dopes. I can sell a 39-cent dozen of eggs for $2 and up! *SMIRK*
For further edification, I suggest the documentary: “The Natural History of the Chicken.” You can get it through your library. It’s very good.
I'm a farm girl and pretty realistic about what has to happen when you're raising animals for food. It's a business, not a game or a Disney movie. But the above is too much. This goes beyond the pale. If we are going to kill and eat animals, we have to do it in a decent way, and feeding live chicks into a grinder is not decent.
