Heart failure afflicts chickens at a rate of at least 4.7% and is attributed to genetic manipulation, but this figure only covers birds within their first 42 days of life. The rate of heart failure increases in the weeks to come. Two of Free from Harm’s rescues died of heart failure in their first 3 to 4 months of life. Their baby hearts cannot keep up with their adult-sized bodies.

Chickens bred for meat are arguably the most genetically manipulated of all animals, forced to grow 65 times faster than their bodies normally would, and the industry continually seeks to increase their growth rate.

Chickens are housed in giant, overcrowded cages, where they are packed in by the thousands and forced to stand and sit on filthy, chicken shite laden flooring, which is typically cleaned out only every 2 to 4 years.

That's their entire life.

The rest of the paragraph after that means nothing because of it

Manipulating genetics is not wrong

That's also not true.

I also wouldn't be sourcing some article that uses chicken shite laden floors.


It's one of the least understood industries in the US

Where are you pulling this shite from?

---

Jammed inside these crates, chickens may travel up to 12 hours to the slaughterhouse through extreme temperatures and weather conditions without food or water. Upon arrival, chickens may languish in these crates for an additional 12 hours before being unloaded.

Chickens too sick or injured to enter the food supply are dumped into large mass graves alive, as exposed in this video footage from an undercover investigation at a poultry farm, conducted by one of the leading farmed animal advocacy organizations, Compassion Over Killing.

quote:

---

At the slaughterhouse, chickens are not stunned, but shackled and dragged upside down, fully conscious, through electrified water that paralyzes their muscles so that their feathers will come off more easily after they are dead

Last one...think about this the next time Chicken is whats for dinner

quote:

---

Chickens and turkeys go to slaughter lame, sick, and in pain. They are infected with Salmonella, Campylobacter, E coli, and other bacteria that make people sick with foodborne poisons. Since poultry products are the main source of foodborne illness in people, due to the filthy conditions in which they are raised, slaughtered chickens are soaked in toxic chemicals which are consumed along with their flesh.

Are you trying to make us all vegetarians?

Sigh

Peta is as bad if not worse than they people they scream about

I’ve personally witnessed my grandmother catch a hen - chop its head off with a hatchet - then let it hop around the barnyard headless for a few minutes.

OBTW, it made for the most wonderful fried chicken meal I’ve ever put in my mouth.

Without a doubt. That bird was on the hoof scratching around in the grass and dirt about 3 hours before it hit the cooking oil.
