Non-profit animal rights organization Animal Outlook (formerly Compassion Over Killing) has released horrifying undercover footage detailing the typical life of 9 billion young chickens slaughtered in the United States each year.
Every day, thousands of chicks are born at industrial hatcheries, ripped away from their mothers and roughly jostled onto conveyor belts by machines at just a few hours old. They spend their entire lives confined to overcrowded and dirty enclosures. These cramped, hazardous conditions — which are even characteristic of “free-range” and “organic” factory farms — cause painful suffering for the birds, who are subjected to a “rapid growth” process that forces them to grow unnaturally fast. By the time chickens are “ready” for slaughter, at the tender age of just five to seven weeks, many are too overweight to walk or stand up.
Some chicks don’t survive the cruel road to slaughter, becoming painfully tangled or crushed in machinery or starving to death. Those deemed “unprofitable,” including sick and injured chickens, are brutally killed.
This shocking footage also offers an eye-opening look into how industrial farms mislead consumers with labels, driving home the point that there is truly no such thing as humane factory farming.
“It’s uncomfortable to think about this reality, but chickens are still babies when slaughtered,” said Animal Outlook President Erica Meier. “They’re only about 45 days old. And the miserable process from hatchery to our plates is painful, barbaric, and completely unnecessary. We can take a stand against this cruelty by refusing to put our money in the pockets of Big Ag and instead shift our support to compassionate vegan foods.”
The very least you can do for these beautiful creatures is treat them ethically. After all, they give their lives for us.
It is so hard to believe that anyone could do such horrible sick acts. Stop this terrible cruelity to these helpless animals. These people should be in prison for many years. Stop the chicken farms from doing such a heartless sick ways too . These are live animals who feel nothing but fear and agony until the day they die is so wrong. Why ?
They seek for new issues which have been suggested by an trade leader.

Please humans , put an end to cruelty!!!
What does i5 take to make humans become humane?
Our world is cruel.
Shame on mankind who have reduced them to sick perverts.
Treat the farmers and workers this way. 🐣🐤🐥
I want to see these meat farmers treated the way these poor animals are – I also am fed up with the growth hormones being fed to animals – it’s not healthy for the animals not human consumption! I also want to see where the law is made world wide any and all animal abusers must endure exactly what their victims have – I have had enough of the animals in this world being abused , murdered and not a single true lesson is taught to these people! They have no right to live amongst civil people in any community and never around any animals!
LEAVE ANIMALS ALONE!!!!!
I’m not sad these “workers” got ate up with Corona virus, they deserve it.
All through my tears of sadness, I have a prayer. Dear…dear sweet Lord, if it is true that you welcome all beautiful, innocent creatures in you heaven, don’t forget these poor tortured souls. I can just see them now, running in a green pasture basking in the sun.
A country can be judged by the way it treats its animals…
