Poultry Farming Advancements - America's Heartland

We're eating more chicken today than ever before. With increased chicken choices at fast food restaurants and chicken being a popular choice for those looking for a low fat, high protein meal, the demand for chicken grows and so does the need to produce more birds for market. We'll take you to Arkansas where one agricultural operation works to build a better bird!

Why don't you tell them how you grind up all of the male chicks alive in a giant grinder after they are hatched because the industry has no use for them? Or how you cut off the beaks of the birds for the ones that aren't mashed up, so they don't peck each other in the extremely confined conditions. This is standard industry practice. Nice propaganda video. People, wake up to the reality behind this veil they put over your eyes. learn the whole truth. Watch "From Farm to Fridge" or "Earthlings"

If you must eat chicken and eggs, Buy local, organic and small fam birds and eggs...

Not factory farm poison...

@13UnderTheGun

I can guarantee you there are no such thing as "factory farm poison". Food from big operations has to pass by so many hygiene/chemical testing before hitting the table that there is nothing safer. For instance most backyard/small/local farmers aren't even registered (no testing is done) which means they might have parasites in they flocks and you will be eating the meat anyway. I'm a small farmer and I do everything legal so my profit margin is near zero.

Love these broiler farms. We have a company here in Canada that clean these types of farms. See video response!

@SuperAnimalDrummer Same here. I hate debating with retarded immoral nihilists... Where the hell is everyone getting such false information?

[SuperAnimalDrummer]

@explosivediarrhea100 that must be it. if you had any facts that say that factory farming in 'humane' you'd have stated them by now instead of talking shit with nothing to back it up. somehow, you're information defies hours of footage taken inside factory farms, showing time and time again instances of extreme cruelty and depravation. People like you are either imperceptive, immoral, a shill for the agri-corporations, or a mix of all three. Peace. Please do no bother me.

[explosivediarrhea100]

@SuperAnimalDrummer Because you know I'd come out with facts and truth and you'd cry about dead chickens.

[SuperAnimalDrummer]

@explosivediarrhea100 May your false beliefs serve you well. I'm done debating idiots like you. Not worth my time. 

[explosivediarrhea100]

@SuperAnimalDrummer Killing all male chicks at birth makes absolutely no sense. Speaking of propaganda yourself and then mentioning those two movies is disgustingly ironic. Shut the fuck up you sheep to the vegan agenda. This and most other slaughter houses are completely humane.

[cowpoke1000]

BTW, their beaks are not clipped!

[cowpoke1000]

These birds look pretty good, nice bright red combs, moving easily with no deformation of extremities..... not a bad operation! There is much, much worse out there!

@wasabi622 He's just an idiot who saw a propaganda video. Those people think it's like that everywhere because they saw it on TV.
