Wow it shocks me how shortsighted and cold some people are. Like or not those chickens are living things and deserve respect. They are raised for food which I have zero problem with that, but they are not a freaking can of beans. They are giving up their lives to provide us with food so they should be treated well. If these were not chickens but dogs like in a puppy mill most people would have a huge problem with it. Our food system is a messed up, and most animals farmed are abused whether that's physically or by their living condition. I'll come out and say it...If you don't care how any animal is treated being a pet, game animal, or farmed you are a bad person. Go ahead call people hippies for caring, it's not a insult. Hippies may over react in some cases but it's better than turning a blind eye to abuse.
