So I've been doing some research about how chickens are raised around the world, and in the many different ways that they are raised, and some w
ays are pretty gruesome. It makes me want to be vegetarian actually. I went onto PETA's site, and saw some really horrific pictures and read some awful facts about chickens and chicks, which made me really sad :(

That's the URL of the site that I visited of PETA's. I learned that male chicks are useless to chicken factories because they don't produce eggs, and they're too small to produce any meat, so every year millions of them are tossed into trash bags and suffocated or thrown (while still alive) into a high speed grinder called a macerator.

This is a picture of chicks in a macerator. It's very very upsetting. At least it was to me.
It's so saddening :(
