RE: Steemit vegetarians, "deathless meat" is almost here...what do you think?

in #news7 years ago

Hi suzannel, I wouldn't call eggs a deathless animal product. I don't know if you're aware of this, but since male chicks are useless for the egg industry, they're killed immediately after birth. Also as soon as the hens don't lay enough eggs to be profitable anymore, they're slaughtered too, way before the end of their natural lifespan. Maybe if you buy eggs from a local farmer the situation might be different, but these are the standard practices in the industry.

Yes, I was aware of some of this, although I had thought roosters were raised by the big poultry industry just for their meat. No, huh Sad.png
