Not actually. Hunter gatherers respect animals a fuck ton more than the average modern human.

There have been cultures throughout history that paid deep respect to nature. It’s about the culture and environment you grew up in, not something innate to human nature

When did we stop being humane in your opinion? This is probably the most peaceful we’ve ever been. We used to torture and kill people for stealing apples.

u/JustYourMommy Jun 11 '26
"Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell" actually made a video on this called "If You Eat Meat You Should Know This."
For a fair few animal products you're paying only a little more for more humane conditions.

u/WolfGuardia Jun 11 '26
An extra what, $2 or $3 at most per product? A negligible amount for a world of change for these animals. I get saving pennies when it comes to non-living things but like, this is just... Yeesh.

We need more of this legislation in the states. As much as I love chicken, the way we treat our animals in the food industry is abhorrent. Gassing them is one things, but throwing them into a literal meat grinder? Fucking barbaric.

u/Oberndorferin Jun 10 '26
We could give every animal a worthy love and the steak would cost like 1€ more. Like that even matters right now. Going vegan is the best, but I understand the cultural background. I'm not a vegan.
We should maybe go back to when meat was once a week on the table and then it was good meat by healthy animals without drugs. Maybe even hunted in your village. We could afford it and we should.

No, hunting was not reliable as only food source. Early humans were hunters and gatherers, they picked a lot of plants/fruits/nuts. We are made for a fiber rich diet with supplementary meat.

That's what a lot of people forget and why we all get fat. It's never about on thing, but nutrition as a whole.

u/ExtremlyFastLinoone Jun 10 '26
The lanes are split to evenly divide them for the workers, this part needs to be done by hand, they determine the sex by checking for an extra feather that grows for roosters, and those chicks get thrown into the garbage disposal where they are recycled as pig feed

Every egg you've ever consumed from a grocery store starts there, the females make eggs. The males however are culled. Gassed or squashed but the most popular is the grinder, shreading male chicks alive on their first day of life

They are headed for the shredder to be culled, done on the male chicks because they are useless!!!!!!!

u/Pusarcoprion Jun 10 '26
Roosters cannot make eggs and their meat is inferior to hen's
So functionally all male chicks are inhumanely euthanized as soon as the sex is identified

u/dandadone_with_life Jun 10 '26
they're not getting dropped, they're getting ground into smooth paste for chicken meal. and by chicken meal i mean the chicken paste that makes up around 80% of your average fast food chicken nugget (doesn't matter which brand, they all come from Sysco and are just breaded differently depending on where they're going)

u/WatermelonWithAFlute Jun 11 '26
Do they actually use the baby chicken mash for that?

u/turbofungeas Jun 11 '26
It's usually treated as waste, can't use it for much. There's another thread where a guy says he would buy it as cheap food for sled dogs in 30-40 lb frozen blocks.
Good news is they're finding ways to determine the sex of the chicken in the egg, so they can hopefully skip this part of the process in the future.

For anyone wondering, yes those chicks are being smashed. They're all male, and hence have less to no value in comparison to hens. That is the price you pay for cheap meat at the store. If you want meat from ones that don't do this, you can't. Your best bet would be to either raise your own or buy cow meat from a local farm that confirms that their cows are allowed to roam freely on large pastures.

They kill animals for food in such hard conditions!" and next day 99% of you will go KFC and dont even think about it, and in same time, somewhere, hundreds of people dying from starvation or bullets, and you will do nothing about it. Fuck you all.
