    If you get easily upset at animal welfare stories, skip this post or come back to it later when you've mentally prepared yourself. It's sort of messed up. On the other hand, haven't you always wondered how hatcheries can produce only female chickens? The Associated Press says an animal rights group secretly filmed employees at the Hy-Line North America hatchery in Spencer, Iowa, this past May and June. The most sensational parts of the video shows male chicks being thrown alive into a grinder, as they aren't necessary for Hy-Line's egg business. There are a couple of other shots described in the AP article that show discarded male chicks dying from falls or scaldings.
    Unlike the forklift-to-the-cow actions of last year, grinding up male chicks is an accepted and well-known industry practice:
    The United Egg Producers, a trade group for U.S. egg farmers, confirmed that figure and the practice behind it.
    "There is, unfortunately, no way to breed eggs that only produce female hens," said the group's spokesman, Mitch Head. "If someone has a need for 200 million male chicks, we're happy to provide them to anyone who wants them. But we can find no market, no need."
    Using a grinder, Head said, "is the most instantaneous way to euthanize chicks."
    Hy-Line, however, has said that the actions of the workers in the video were inappropriate with respect to the chicks left to die on the floor were "a violation of our animal welfare policies," and that they are investigating.

    Did you hear that? Cocks are being discarded in a meat grinder.

    When will this new wave of sexism end :confused:

    Cocks in a meat grinder. Brings a tear to your eye.



    On a related note, a friend of mine thought chicken nuggets were battered chicks. Not blended or ground or anything, just slid out of the egg and into the batter.

    seen the video of it earlier. They be just throwing the cocks around. Cocks flying everywhere. Some cocks get stuck in machine and then are brought through the cleaning cycle for the machine, poor cock gets scalded and thrown on the ground to die.

    Im sure they could easily find a place for most of the cocks.

    It certainly is, but you can buy them here from people with chickens as pets in their back garden pretty much, that's what my family does.

    What happens to the resulting cock paste? Sounds like some sort of European delicacy.

    Mitch Head should be in porn.

    You said it, Mitch.

    I suggest that we find some scantily clad young women to march on the sites of these farms/factories with giant plackards saying:

    'We can't blow this chance to save the cock for all of us'.
