It’s disgusting to think that we treat animals like this and we call ourselves civilised

[@christopher88719]

I agree completely. I cannot change the world, but I can change myself. I gave up eating chickens and store-bought eggs years ago after I rescued a hen myself and learned how smart and loving they are. Now I will always have chickens at my home. Mine are spoiled fat happy girls that only have to worry about which side they want to sunbathe.

Not all farms or country places are like that...the type ur on about is factory farms...yes they do mistreat short lives....which is depressing...I do not buy stuff that are from factory farms or not RSPCA/cruelty free approved....I buy from farmers by hand...its just as cheap the place i go to! Not only that but its all free range, and organic or not...My cousin has a country house...he raises sheep and chickens...cruelty FREE..they all roam around the camp site next door, owners dont mind(chickens only roam by the camp site) as for the sheep roam his massive garden or field i should say!

[@fionajane56]

There has got to be a better way. Chickens are far smarter than people think and deserve better. We free range our chickens, only putting them in at night. They have several acres of pasture to range on. We enjoy the eggs. We also use them for meat but we are committed to giving them the best chickeny life possible. It makes me sick at modern food productions treatment of li ing creatures. (I have been involved in Agriculture all my life)

[@Gspotje]

I've had to pick chickens out of batteries, they needed a foreman to lead a team of 25 men to load them on the trucks. We did 2 batteries every single night. After 2 weeks they called me to the office and said your contract is ready you are hired permanently. I said fuck this and walked away. It's horrible, not only how they look and behave: but the blood lice, dear god: at some places they are covered in millions of them. Sucking their blood. It felt to me like walking into Auschwitz. Some had almost no feathers and horrible infested wounds. Not to mention the dead ones we found! I could not help to get angry at some farmers for allowing it to get soo bad! Luckily batteries are now forbidden in my country. But are still other stables where they grow the meat chickens or broilers, they are so big and growing so fast that the legs can't support them anymore. From out of the egg to Arnold Schwarzenegger in 8 to 10 weeks. All stacked together. Similar situation, it's still hell. I needed money badly but this wasn't worth too lose my soul! Think twice before buying that cheap meat, just don't buy it. Your cheap meat and eggs cause this suffering... we want it all for free almost. Good meat cost MONEY people. Rather eat less meat, for example only twice a week. Buy some quality meat from good farmers who care for a high-end product! Biologically grown, almost germ-free and best of all suffering free! Support you local farmers they need it! It will make you healthier too!

I have taken meat chickens - some died of heart attacks when they started running around free.I recently went to Kurdistan to visit refugee friends in camps. I went to villages also. It was good to see people who have farms and only kill and eat what they need to sustain their family or rare guests. Most poor people live on rice tomato, cucumber, bread,apples, banana, watermelon, rock melon and flat bread.

[@moduslive]

+Pam Foldesi That is a very well put observation Pam! What you say is so true, it is only through both ignorance and willful ignorance that people continue to support the industry, and those like it. Its unbelievable that in our so called 'enlightened times', people are still putting the 'bottom line' of businesses (profit) before the well being and rights of intelligent and sentient beings. Society needs to wake up and re-address their attitude towards 'animals', they deserve to be acknowledged as individuals for their own sake, not simply as tools and the property of human beings, to be exploited and used by our will. Farming needs heavy regulations to be set in place concerning animal health and welfare, and a systematic restructuring of the industry or the bloody abolition of it, if they can't meet up to an acceptable standard of health, welfare and well being for these precious, living beings while 'turning over a profit'. At least that is how I feel!

[@pam5256]

That, too, is a very well put observation moduslive!

[@moduslive]

Pam Foldesi Thank you Pam Foldesi :) !

[@chalocolina3554]

If you'd ever kept chickens, you'd understand the folly of not eating eggs. They lay an egg a day-- what do you think is supposed to become of all those? The numbers don't work unless almost all those eggs get eaten.

[@mightyaxolotl74]

chalo colina not buying eggs means not helping and encouraging that system. Buying chickens is the same : it's another form of egg business, even if they are treated a looot better (and those chickens baby brothers are killed). But if you have some rescues, eating their eggs is totally ethically ok in my opinion :) You could also feed them their eggs, or give them to your neighbors so they don't have to buy eggs from those sad sad mistreated chickens...

[@drubio1062]

We consume these animals for food but there's no need to make their short lives cruel and miserable.....

[@blackdogslivesmatter1568]

um its called factory farming and if you consume chicken you are the CAUSE of the cruelty and you pay for the chicken which in turn pays for the cruelty...stop complaining. If you dont like cruelty dont eat them.....duh...it doesnt take a genius to figure that out.

[@dawnchattin5935]

No, it is not one or the other. There are alternative, humane ways to farm chickens, and we need to legislate change, through the Farm Bill, and be responsible, petition lawmakers to ensure compassionate cruelty-free methods are implemented. This Farm Bill pretty much eradicates even basic measures. All animals are sentient, intelligent, have memories and emotions. You, sir, not the consumers, are the reason why these atrocities continue.

[@squawrainbow]

[@kaosinc]

Bullshit! We are and have always been omnivores! Look at "Ötzi" who had a stomach full of meat, grains and fruits. On average, how long does a butterfly live for? 2 weeks! I'm against battery farming but not against free range farming.

Ya, lets talk about the farmed chickens having a humane environment, the subject that needs our attention right now, not a debate on whether we’re herb or omni vores. I have slowly cut off chicken from my diet, I am not buying farmed fish or seafood. I still eat beef. I am lucky I live in Wales UK, their farming methods are more humane, than some.

I saw a video in school years ago about battery farms and never forgot it. The level of cruelty was shocking and still is. Anyone who has a garden should try keep a hen or two. They're so easy to care for and once you try a free range egg you'll never want to eat one from the shop.

I get my eggs from a coworker who has about two dozen chickens. He lets his chickens roam his property freely, no fences, and has two collie dogs keep an eye on them while they forage the garden for grubs. He built them their own spacious house that they go to and from as they please, and only shuts the door at night to keep them safe. It breaks my heart that people turn a blind eye to the state that most livestock is kept in these days.

[@PestilentAllosaurus]

I know right? We do the same. Tried raising our own but our asshole neighbors complained about our rooster crowing in the morning. He wasn't even loud, sometimes he'd be too lazy too. Technically there was nothing they could do but we kept catching them trying to harm our animals and felt it wasn't worth the risk or battle knowing things would just get worse so our family friend a short drive away took them in on his large acreage. Really baffles me. I'll never forget that "Either cut out his vocals or I will permanently" Our other neighbors were actually really sad to see them go, they liked our chickens a lot. Kept the mouse problem away surprisingly. Lol

I only get my eggs from farmers who pasture-raise their chickens. I can't stand to think about hens just being crammed into small cages. I'm happy to pay $3 more (IT'S THREE DOLLARS, LESS THAN A DAMN STARBUCKS LATTE) to know the chickens are treated humanely.

[@viclaney6575]

You' re among our world's unsung heroes. Thank- you for your many acts of kindness on behalf of these precious little girls and others. I' ve been buying only free range/certified humane eggs and milk for 5 years now, or I should say free range/certified humane according to pkg./carton claims. How can one be sure? Hope they've been safe from the hawks, owls and foxes. Blessings, always.

[@PestilentAllosaurus]

Same! I swear they taste better too. Whenever I had to visit grandmothers a few states away something always tastes "off" about her eggs or milk. I thought I was imagining things but the comment section really helped make me realize I'm not imagining anything. Happy healthy chickens always give better products. Same with cows.

[@Adelicows]

No such thing as humane eggs. Even buying from backyard pasture chickens supports extreme cruelty, like throwing male chicks into a literal grinder. Sometimes they bounce out half alive and lie there on the floor suffering until they bleed to death. Plus the hens are bred to produce unnatural amounts of eggs which leaches calcium and nutrients from their bones and makes them weak and ill.

[@PestilentAllosaurus]

@@Adelicows Yeah... no. My neighbors and friends don't bounce baby chicks around like a basketball. They sell the EGGS that aren't chicks or let the chicks grow up so they can either sell the chickens of both sexes or have any excess not sold for consumption. Sounds like you only know about the big factories.

[@alisonsmith1697]

Ahhh, what a beautiful video, I'm actually in tears.. my grandfather and my father kept chickens when I was young and they were wonderful little creatures. It breaks my heart to see them at the start of this and I'm amazed that with your love how quickly they return to their Beautiful plumage and behaviours, even best building and giving you the gifts of eggs. I wish I could do what you do in rescuing them but now I have bird fanciers lung and I'm not supposed to go near birds at all, though as I live alone I have 2 small parrots for company. But chickens are my first love. Keep up your excellent work, you deserve a medal for what you do xxxx

[@CherryBlossom-jm4bl]

How about put a stop to battery cages first and foremost? Going vegan isn't going to make the whole world go vegan in a day, but a good petition can be a start to making battery cages illegal.

[@drunkvegangal8089]

Abolition not 'improved' conditions. Stop enslaving living creatures - no compromise - for humans and every other animal. Start by stopping yourself today and others will join...not in a day; but day by day. Every living creature deserves to live free of suffering, exploitation and misery. No need to wait - go vegan now :D

[@roysheaks1261]

Cherry Blossom The problem is that so many people eat so much chicken in the world daily that caged birds take up the least amount of space and the birds are processed so efficiently. Healthy and happy birds are far more nutritious and tasty than caged birds, and so are their eggs. I will be raising chickens when I retire, and my technique will be using chicken tractors. Hope people feel that those are humane. I think they allow chickens to be chickens, and they are protected from predators in the process. Fresh air, sunshine, rain and fresh grass, bugs, worms and a dust bath here and there.

[@sylviakoziarski4912]

I like my steak just a bit pink and my eggs over easy. @@drunkvegangal8089

[@PestilentAllosaurus]

@@roysheaks1261 I KNEW it wasn't me thinking I was imagining things. I swore up and down eggs or chickens tasted soo much better when living good happy healthy lives! Like I go to my grandmother's and something always tastes.... off about the eggs.

[@alexanderockenden2564]

Making things illegal is such a paltry “fix” for the problem as it doesn’t address the underlying sickness. What about a freedom-based spiritual awakening and humans returning to Mother Earth?

[@c8Lorraine1]

Thank you for rescuing them and giving them a chance at life. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@zizanie]

shame you kept the unnecessary music it spoils the emotion and peaceful atmosphere

[@margolenney6032]

Oh for goodness sake grow up. Your watching this but your only concern is the music? Another pointless stupid idiot.

[@Hoocuspoocus]

"On behalf of man, I'm sorry". Bless you and everyone like you that saves these poor animals from a life of absolute misery.

[@gurudevelpr]

Heart Wrenching. Makes you want to go vegan!!

[@drunkvegangal8089]

Go vegan!!! :D The only regret most vegans have is that they didn't make the diet change sooner. It is lovely to be vegan and not at all a sacrifice. I love animals and I love that I have re-connected with my heart

[@shadowmatrix0101]

Oh please, stop being drama queens. Just buy your eggs from a free range farm where the chickens are allowed to roam freely. No more guilt. You're welcome.

[@thetruthserum2816]

"Pasture Raised" is the terminology that describes the best efforts in poultry husbandry.

[@RubberSmuggins]

Unfortunately there are a lot of people who prefer cheap and tasteless eggs. I visited a free range farm in Norfolk. They were in a pen with no grass and hard packed soil. That counts as free range apparently. Being human is sad only.

[@cj597]

Smuggins That’s what happens when you keep chickens - they destroy any grass and plants. It would be great if these free range farms copied homesteads and rotated chickens through paddocks. Free range will improve.

[@nilkolllu5036]

Thank you, Angels! Chickens are very emotional birds! Thank you so much 💕 for educating pubic! Tear, warmth, and joys the same time...🤗

it is oo bad tha there are human C*nts that treat animals terribly... but the law of karma says... what goes around comes around... in everything you do

[@bertanelson8062]

I raised 6 chickens. They sat in my lap, enjoyed being petted & talked to. Every bit as sociable as a cat or dog. All beings are intelligent & share loving kindness!

[@AnnemieM]

How evil is that, to let living creatures suffer to look like that. What then, do people get to eat them? The people that eat chickens like that and know better, are just as guilty than people that work in factories like that. That is hell what those birds go through. People, please enquire where the chicken you eat comes from and only buy happy chicken meat if you eat chicken The same goes for eggs. Thank to the people that are rescuing chickens like that and give them a bit of a life.

[@pamnosworthy1581]

AnnemieM Well i think its easier to not eat chicken instead of asking where and how the chicken lived before being brutally slaughtered to put on your plate?

[@marywilliams9858]

Maybe you could write to your Congressman and have him write a law protecting animals from cruelty. They are so precious and we are blessed to have them around us.

[@melgibsonafter5beers626]

@@pamnosworthy1581 I eat what I raise. Would it be "easier" to not eat chicken? Depends on your perspective. If everyone lived in intentional communities instead of bug-hive cities, there would be no need for this. All of modernity is sick, not just the meat industry.

[@jeliarra]

If we could do to the humans what they do to these animals, bet this BS would cease. These creatures feel pain and comfort and though it may not be as intense as humans, experience emotions as humans.

[@marywilliams9858]

My cat used to sleep on the couch beside me with his paws around my arm. Animals teach us a lot, especially to live humane n the moment, stick to a routine, be well groomed and enjoy playing time. I am thinking of my cat.

[@Merryrobin]

I came across this video because I am doing research on having a few backyard chickens. It brought tears to my eyes seeing these chickens in contrast to all the other videos I have seen of happy, well cared for chickens.

[@sonofhibbs4425]

For as much as these creatures lives nourish our own, they should be at least treated well. It disgusts me that they are used as some sort of commodity, and that thus is ok...it’s not ok. This doesn’t even have to be viewed as a vegan/non-vegan argument. It’s just plain wrong to treat a creature under ones care that they suffer this much. I hate factory farming. These birds don’t deserve this. Sadly taking in rescued hens won’t solve the problem of abuse, but I am sure happy to hear when people do. Most people don’t understand that chickens are intelligent and caring creatures, just as much as your dog or cat. They make great pets. They aren’t brainless unfeeling things that are ok to abuse. It makes me sick to know how chickens are routinely abused.

[@gokulnaathb2627]

[@CatWhispurrer1]

Thx for a brilliant video & happy ending the way it should be for all! Tears mixed w/salty sadness & pure joy. Sad to see frightened, tentative, weakened condition of their first taste of FREEDOM, huddling together, not knowing exactly what to do! So lovely to see them adapt to their "new home" as feathers grew back so fast, their instincts for nesting & preening taking over, then running so fast after their human! Heartwarming w/bird in lap cooing & closing her eyes w/each loving stroke. :D

[@michaelsanti8746]

wonderful video, we need more humans like you, no murders like those monsters, who are these morons to take others life away, what unhappy and sad these people are , if we can call people, the chickens looks like happy and free how has to be, why do you allow these morons in this forum, is a waste of time, congratulations, to give these chickens a second chance of life.

[@angelaknowles8189]

my grandson and i hatched three eggs, and got 3 wonderful , clever and funny hens, i used to eat chicken but cant do that again, our peggy was a real little yellow chick, and our kenny and tommy are brown hens, the feathers on them are so pretty, they all know their names and come when called, i am not ashamed to say I LOVE THEM VERY MUCH, THEY HAVE A NICE NEW COOP, CLEAN STRAW GOOD FOOD, I CRIED WATCHING THIS

[@burben_tha]

i sometimes really want to change to Vegan.

[@drunkvegangal8089]

Are you vegan yet? So easy and joyful to do...7+ years now for me but it gets easier every year. Good luck :D

[@sylvieficco5489]

thanathit puengngam yes! Go vegan! There us many stuff online about nutrition. A bunch of products have vegan versions there vegan ice cream,vegan cheese,vegan yogurt. Try substituting cow milk for a plant based milk. The dairy industry is just as cruel to cows. Baby cows are ripped away from their mothers and usually killed. Its not as hard as people think it is

[@magicpigeon_]

thanathit puengngam DO IT PLS!

[@shadowmatrix0101]

Oh for god's sake, you don't have to go vegan. Just buy eggs from a free ranging chicken farm. There. No more guilt.

Thanathit Pueng do it right now

[@joannepeterson7896]

I know this is 12 years old, but simply beautiful what love and care can do....Animals are deserving of this care, and yes they respond to attention, and give it right back. What you've done to restore dignity, and on the way to health to these girls makes me cry.

[@poisonjoe1812]

Has Germany actually banned the caging of chickens?

[@drunkvegangal8089]

Doesn't matter. Just stop eating chickens (and other birds) and their eggs. Caged or 'cage free', in either case, they end up at the slaughterhouse and we don't need to eat those birds or their eggs.

[@brrjohnson8131]

Drunk Vegan Gal, crawl back in your bottle. Or quit announcing to the world your lack of foresight & understanding.

if you do not want people commenting on your presumed alcoholism perhaps you could remove the drunk from your name.

[@teehundeart]

As far as i know yes, caged birds are banned. For example in the supermarket when you buy eggs you usually have the choice between chickens raised in a chicken coop, chickens that also had some space to free roam outside and organic eggs (which means even more space and also strict regulation of the food that they are being fed)

[@eastsideterri22]
