World egg 'free' day! Live without egg for just 1 day

Slrajr

The egg industry has declared today ‘World Egg Day’– but we’d like to take this opportunity to put chickens BEFORE the egg by sharing with you something that the egg marketing machine won’t... In an industry where the worth of a hen is measured by how many eggs she can produce – have you ever stopped to wonder what happened to the boys?

The truth might shock you. For every female chicken hatched, there is one male; a tiny chirping bundle of fluff who will never produce an egg. He will never grow fast enough to be profitable for his meat. So he is simply disposed of – like a piece of rubbish.
Every year in Australia, 12 million day-old male chicks are gassed to death, or ground up alive. Tragically this is standard practice across all types of egg farming systems – whether free range, organic or factory farmed.

Today, we’re looking out for the little guys by inviting you to celebrate World Egg ‘Free’ day with us.

Who is we? Also, gassing chickens and grinding them alive sound both like inefficient slaughter methods. But good luck with your vendetta.

What would be a more efficient way to slaughter chickens? Perhaps just throwing them live into a bin and letting them suffocate or starve to death would be a more efficient method. Less effort involved that way...

Why don't they just turn them into chicken nuggets?

Why indeed?
