sending them away would cost money, people want money.
where would they send them away to?
no farmer is willing to take thousands upon thousands of chicks that need constant attention, food and health care. people care mainly because they are cuddly. alot of threads about cuddly animals go up, I have not seen one thread about shark finning., THATS terrible.

sending them away costs:

gas= pollutant
time= don't always have alot of that
energy= a mixture of money and pollutant
the drivers=money
the farmers=money and energy.

another thing, why is this terrible. actually think about it.

alot of people say it's bad, but they won't switch to vegan or veggie. (unless they are veggie. yay for you)
these same people who say it's bad, eat big turkeys for thanksgiving, hotdogs, hamburgers, fish, ect.

you want to make a difference? set fire to a meat processing plant. don't sit and complain how bad it is.
people who Want to make a difference, go out there, and get heard. And yes, if you care enough, you can get heard.

This is why we should all buy meat that has been raised ethically. It isn't HUGE at the moment, but there ARE farms out there who raise and slaughter their animals in traditional, humane ways. Not only is a fuck of a lot nicer, but the food is better for you, and it isn't as hard on the environment.

Look for labels, make smart consumer choices, that's the best way to end this sort of thing.

EDIT: Veganism is a drastic change to make, and people will think you are nuts, just be warned. xD

I would like to say that it's wrong,but I can't.

I eat meats that are probably used in these types of factories,so I can't say i'm vegan,im actualy more of a carnivore,since the fact that I have sharp teeth near the front of my jaw,and barley eat any vegitables.

lololol if there was a giant chicken and human was part of his acceptable diet. he would eat you in a fucking second. and i really doubt he would take your feelings into consideration. even you vegetrians.

Yes, because the giant chicken would be only as smart as a chicken...I think the point is that people are supposed to be above this. This sort of eating is actually counter productive to humanities welfare...not eating chickens, but eating them in such mass quantities and producing them in such a careless manner.

so, what was the point in this comment?
if your saying we should eat them because they eat us ,well, that makes you about as smart as that giant chicken.

I can't believe people are getting so sucked into this.
Has anyone not heard survival of the fittest.
Sure animal cruelty is bad and what not but if there going to die why give the chicks the special treatment of being given special care.
And yes been put in a grinder is a fast death, its not like they are tortured when they get thrown in to the grinder.
I find this not wrong in any case at all.
If you don't want chickens to die then say good bye to chicken for dinner.

Ow and if you think this is bad watch how cats and dogs get killed for food.

why do people get shocked at this stuff but not at the fact that they are putting dead, usually old, meat of chikens,cows and lambs in their mouths everyday?

People say that meat is neccessary for human life, but lets take a step back here. The intestine of carnivorous animals is very short, the meat they eat isn't meant to give them slow burning energy, just boosts of it for rapid hunts/get-aways.
whereas the human intestine is very long, our digestive system is designed to give us energy to perform low-energy tasks for a long period of time. Vegetables and fruit are perfect food for this, and before you jump up and say that vegetarians are usually alot more tired than people who eat meat are I want to point out that this is what is meant to be normal, the people who eat meat have extra (usually uneccessary) energy, plus if you think that not having the energy from the proteins in meat is a problem, its easy enough to take iron tablets.
If you think the procces which delivers the meat to your plates is bad but eating it after isnt then you are very ignorant

It's the way she goes, boys. Better than cloning.

Scare us with chicks being grinded up, and then tells us to go vegan?
No thanks.
