It seems wasteful just to grind up the male chicks. Sure it's cruel, but they were destined to die one way or another. The whole go vegan and save the animals message isn't getting across to me though.


I don't imagine what comes out of the grinder is wasted. It is probably the "chicken" in your dog's "chicken and rice" dog food, etc.

And Mikus... bad form for even comparing this with slavery. As Gwiz said, and as has been discussed before, these are not humans, they aren't suffering like a human would, and until every last human on earth has the same rights and freedoms as everyone else a 6-hour-old chicken is an incredibly low priority.
