They're usually shredded alive almost immediately because they're seen as "waste" since they don't lay eggs
For some more context:
i dont mind
I'd think they could genetically engineer the egg layers to only produce males in certain conditions (such as when they're incubated at a higher temperature), then only breed males when they need more roosters.
OR, if sex is selected by sperm type (as with humans) artificially inseminate the hens.
I suspect there are dozens of valid technical solutions that are cost effective and would allow them to not shred male chicks.
Every vegan initially dreams of a world with ethical meat. Then after a few years you realize you actually don't miss meat at all. Please believe me when I say, ethical meat really isn't worth the effort (and often mental gymnastics).
You're thinking about turtles
Did they use the chickens for something? I guess cat food or something like that would be useful.
Chicken nuggets are made this way.
Didn't they use the bones and cartilage for that?
Chicken lips and hooves.
Do they really just keep them in bags and boxes like that?
