I really hate the guy in the meat factory, he said ‘they are brought into a room and the air slowly pulled out and fall asleep where they will not recover’ what he means is ‘ we put them in a machine that that painfully slits their throats and leave them to die, we are proud of this’. Everything these people say is a fat lie and they know it. If you think this is bad, don’t lookup what happens to cows and chickens that produce eggs.

I'm here because I'm writing a university paper on the absolutely critical need for change and enhancement of UK animal welfare legislation for animals destined for the meat market. I assure you that I will be looking into and taking interviews from people like the lady featured who feels that keeping chickens in these appalling conditions where they have pecked the feathers from others and themselves (seen in chickens who are feeling extremely high stress levels) is "a wonderful way of rearing chickens" and will be reporting them as this goes against the UK Animal Welfare Standards, any guidelines from DEFRA and of course, the Law. This is so deeply upsetting. How dare anyone feel that rearing animals for the meat in a completely unnatural environment is justifiable. You should be ashamed.

[@XavierAway]

I assume you're talking about the lack of feathers, this is not pecking from other birds, it's because they grow so fast they lose their chick downy feathers and become nearly adult size before they even grow their adult feathers. The chickens filmed here are half through there life but you probably weren't listening. They're bred this way because we want them for their fast growing (and therefore cheap) meat, not their feathers.

@@heathen.and.the.hounds I'm a vegetarian. I don't think people should be eating other sentient mammals anyway, but I've seen much worse in the US and most western European countries. For as long as we're eating meat, this is going to happen. The reason why free range and Organic is affordable is because this is farming brings the general price down. The reason why we have so of this is because fast food chains need this level of farming in order to sell it's product, otherwise it would be only something saved for sundays or specials occasions, as it used to be. Actually in this country the poor didn't eat chicken at all, they ate beef and offal.

They r ill because they r genetically modified to grow to an abnormal 6-7 lb in a span of 6 weeks. They become so big they just drop and aren’t even able to walk properly. Most of these birds will break a limb because of the weight and even get heart attacks. Before the scientific days, real natural organic birds would only reach 3 pounds and would take months to reach slaughter stage.

Staying indoors my whole life, breed to be always happy hungry and lazy, in warm cozy conditions with a bunch of fellow zombies doesn't sound too bad to me. Putting those birds on an outside range, freezing, trying to be a chicken with normal instincts but bred to be lazy and unable to act on them, is more of a torture. I'm sticking with the cheapest chicken there is. Or beef. Just don't eat pork. Those animals are still smart, and they suffer.

[@PopeUrbanX]

These animals have not been "bred to be always happy".They have been pumped with hormones and antibiotics so they can become plump birds ready to be reared at 2 months old,reduced to mere units of production.These animals bodies are so unnaturally large that they are the equivalent of a 2 year old child weighing 300 pounds.These birds never see their mother or sunlight.Broiler chickens bodies grow faster than they can handle causing them to suffer chronic pain throughout their short miserable lives.Broiler chickens often have difficulties walking and some suffer from lameness due to the massive weight of their bodies.Broiler chickens commonly suffer from osteoporosis,ascites,heart failure and lung failure due to their massive bodies.After 2 months when they are still babies they get sent into a gas chamber and get gassed to death by C02.C02 is a brutal way to die because the CO2 causes the chicken's eyes,nostrils,mouth and lungs to acidify causing the chickens to experience that they are burning from the inside out,the C02 isn't very effective and can take up to a minute before killing the chickens.Let's not forget that this is only how some of the chickens live.7 billion male chickens every year get tossed into a grinder on their first day of life due to them being economically unviable because they don't grow fast enough and don't lay eggs.The first and last moments of those baby chickens lives is spent being blended alive or being gassed to death on their first day of life. Chickens are also very intelligent animals that outperform babies and even toddlers in some cases.As you have said with pigs,chickens also suffer and when they are on factory farms the only thing they spend their lives doing is suffer.
