Chicken Continued

Unfortunately the sadness doesn't stop with the egg laying hens. The truth is more horrible things go on at "chicken farms." It is truly heartbreaking to see the conditions that the majority of chickens are raised in. Most chickens never see sunlight or have the chance to spread their wings. They are forced to be raised in crammed living quarters with no sunlight. They are given such high amounts of growth hormones so they grow much faster than they would naturally. Since chicken breasts are the most popular part of the chicken they are given growth hormones so their breast grow faster and larger than normal. I have seen videos where a chicken's breast grew so fast that its legs could not support the weight of its body! It is terrible!! The chicken's poor little legs have not grown as fast as the rest of its body therefore it cannot support its weight. Because of the tight living quarters most chickens that collapse die from suffocation because they are unable to move. I urge you to try and learn more about this topic. Knowledge is power. We can make a difference.
