Can you step into the life of a chicken used for meat for just one minute? Chickens are arguably the most abused animals on the planet. More chickens are killed for food than all other land animals combined, yet not a single federal law protects them from abuse—even though most Americans say that they would support such a law. The best way to help chickens: http://features.peta.org/how-to-go-vegan/. Chickens raised for their flesh, called "broilers" by the chicken industry, spend their entire lives with tens of thousands of other birds in filthy sheds, where intense crowding and confinement lead to outbreaks of disease. They're bred and drugged to grow so large so quickly that their legs and organs can't keep up, making heart attacks, organ failure, and crippling leg deformities common. Many become crippled under their own weight and eventually die because they can't reach the water nozzles. |
