What Are These Bruises?

Consider the sadness, pain and suffering they endured before their souls were forced out of their broken and bruised bodies, just so you can have a 10 minute snack to end up down the toilet.

Chicken's corpse

Did you ever wonder what those bruises were? I did a post about this three years ago after wondering and researching. They’re bruises from being ripped by their legs and smashed into crates on to a slaughter truck... Could we be any more cruel?

We force them to be born, little baby Chicks, we take them from their mothers, we mutilate them, leave them in a shed full of ammonia, leave the lights on so they stay awake and keep eating until they can’t even stand because we have forced their bodies to grow so rapidly to reach slaughter weight by time they’re only 6 weeks old.

They’re in constant skeletal pain, have respiratory illness, ammonia burns, and sudden death syndrome because their little hearts can’t keep up.

We deny them sunlight, fresh air, love and any compassion and the first day they see sunlight is on their way to be killed... trucks driving down the road full of actual children to be killed.

Consider them next time you go to the grocery store or out for a meal. Consider the sadness, pain and suffering they endured before their souls were forced out of their broken and bruised bodies, just so you can have a 10 minute snack to end up down the toilet.

We don’t need to eat them. We can do better. We should do better.
