It's not though, we're talking about chickens that are for the most part destined to live in a cage and end up on someone's plate.


I'm not sure I understand your point. What's more acceptable and why:

1. Killing an 8 day old chicken embryo

2. Killing a 2 month old human embryo


About the same really.

The whole process of factory farming is brutal. Trying to sugarcoat it by calling them no-death eggs is semantics at best.

It changes nothing about the factory farming system, the number of culled chickens, or the conditions the unculled chickens are kept it.

The only difference it makes is now people don't have to see cute fluffy birds tossed into meat grinders.

It makes people feel better while changing nothing about the fundamental problems of the system.

Kind of like recycling.


It's the same instinct at play, in my opinion.


Sure, doesn't mean it's anything other than something to make people feel better while changing nothing.


I was just trying to agree with you.
