Having stated that I will also state that putting a chicken in a cage that is so small that it can’t stand up or turn around and leaving it there until it is ready to die is an abomination.

Hold it there, bunky. I worked as payroll supervisor for one of the largest egg suppliers west of the MNississippi. I have toured equally large locations where the birds were kept, fed, and where they produced their eggs. None of the birds I saw were in spaces so tight that it matched what you are describing. Theey do NOT live in this space until they die-—they are rotated out when their production falls off, which a normal life cycle of a chicken. Then they are sold to the soup companies.
Someone has sorely misinformed you and completely overblew the facts.
I was raised on a dairy farm. Next thing, PETA will be complaining that milking a cow is invasion of the cow’s privacy because the machines are placed on the cow teats!!!!

Grow up people!!!

We are only arguing the size of the cage. The chicken is still in a small wire enclosure it’s entire life. It is removed only to go to the soup company, in other words when it dies. Would you treat a dog that way?

And by the way, how did you know my name is Bunky?
