Sorry dawg, food preparation isn't pretty. You know they've done studies that show plants actually feel pain? This is what happens when you live in a world where one living thing has to murder another to eat.

Throwing chicks down a tube is totally the same as a plant having a tiny electrical response to a stimuli.

It's not that far off. They are cognitively pretty much nonexistent.

[Kekephee]

I mean obviously baby chicks are cute and it's sad to watch them get ground up, but I don't think that's even what's happening here. I can't really tell, but it looks like the GIF is more about selecting individual chicks- probably ones that are already dead- and putting them down the tube to get ground up. I think the rest (the ones that aren't pulled out of the batch) are probably shipped off to the farm.

[Hailto]

Still a pretty disgusting way to treat animals.

[Kekephee]

I agree that it's unpleasant and gross, for sure. I'm sick watching it. But there really is no pretty way to kill something and rip its meat off of its bones, you know? That's really all I'm saying.

Bullshit. I make anything look pretty.

[Lune]

Nature is 10x more cruel than that GIF. Coots pecking their chicks to death when they ask for food, because there are too many chicks and not enough food? Eagle chicks pushing their weaker brothers/sisters out of the nest so they get all the food? Serial rapist ducks? Beautiful.

But humans should still be nice to animals because... you know... we have that ability.

There's no good reason to kick a dog/cat/etc...people are weak if they need to take it out on an animal.

anything you eat that was an animal definitly, without a doubt went through a horrible life.

The source, be warned its graphic!:

I'm not a vegetarian but factory farming can be terrible. Not all factory farms are like this but there are definitely a lot more that are than arnt - just look at how unkempt your neighbors yard is, there are more careless messy people than there are neat and tidy :)

But whatever, some people value different forms of life differently. I think about this stuff every time I eat at a chain restaurant or something. I try to avoid that more than anything.

Hey some people think this shit is awesome, what can you do.

One day either robots will rule an awesome rock planet in space where life isnt a thing, or maybe well be like in startrek where most people are good. Idk.. but what i DO know, is I'm depressed now.

Sad :(

[Tasslehofp99]

lol I somehow knew my comment would start a fire....



I don't even think theres any practical reason to grind baby chickens up, they barely have any meat on their bones yet. I somehow doubt that's what is really going on in those gifs, but maybe!

[Aveenia]

Some animals that become food have had good lives. Factory farms bad.

Why They Grind Up Male Chicks
As you can see here, it's a simple question of profitability. Is it cheaper to raise male birds up for meat and sell them, or to grind them up? It's cheapest to grind them up. They don't grow fast enough to provide maximum profitability to the industry. Here's what a farmer on my blog had to say about this practice:

heh the factory doing what it does best :) er.. dang, I mean :(

eh like I said some people don't get bothered by this stuff. Sometimes I try to put myself in the flies shoes when I'm trying to kill one like, 'cool nice day tod-- WHOAH! SHI* GAMEOVER', and then I think of god shaming me in the clouds one day.

I'm JK but seriously.. good state :P

[iruinedyourday]

uh the -I'm JK but seriously.. good state :P - was from a joke i decided wasn't funny and replaced with an equally unfunny but different joke..

Oh the mystery, what state was I talking about? ooo.. so mystery, such drama.

Sorry for spam :)

Still sad about factory farms :(

[Tasslehofp99]

I stand corrected, that is pretty nasty.


There is probably less meat on those chickens than guts and bones.

[Sidelle]

Maybe someday food replicators will be a thing.

TNG does attribute them to all of humans positive evolution.. like it was the invention of those that stopped war and consumerism.

haha so yea, either replicators or rock planet where robots live on rocks in rock houses with no life. Lots of rock n roll tho
