in my opinion ( a person that has raised birds) there is noting wrong with dyeing chicks as pets i agree they are not trinkets but it is not permanent because you are collaring there food source when you dye them is the egg that is how chilean flamingos get there pink color from the high pink pigment from the shrimp they eat
-
finally a place where colored chicks have more than enough space to play

at least that dye isn't toxic. But yeah, that's a living creature, it wasn't really born to be dyed for one day then left in the trash...well tbh it's better than being part of the egg or poultry industry, these little guys havent had the worst lives yet and they got to live in Farm Sanctuary for the rest of their lives

LOOK WHAT MEN DO! THIS IS WHY THEY DIED!
Yes, this happened when I was a child. Kids adopted them for Easter and they were dead within a week. Animals should never have such things done to them. It's important to teach kids that they are living, feeling creatures -- not toys to entertain kids for a week.

xxc3lld4m4gexx is missing the point. The fact that they were being sold as novelties has everything to do with them being dyed. Whether or not the actual dye process is toxic is another story. The whole concept of injecting dye into a fetus for the sole purpose of selling the baby like it's some kind of plastic throwaway toy is just creepy and weird, to put it lightly.
