They’re usually shredded alive almost immediately because they’re seen as “waste” since they don’t lay eggs
For some more context:
I used to work at a chicken hatchery.
At least where I worked (and this was in accordance with laws, so all the hatcheries under this very large company umbrella did the same), they were drowned in ice cold water. Shock from cold then drowning. Then shipped somewhere to be ground into food for mink.
Not ideal, but not ground up alive, either. Maybe that’s true in some places, but ima need a looooooot more sources than a random YouTube video on that “usually”.

K, one country does not make it “usually”.
Perhaps “usually in Australia”, but that’s not what this says.

fuck you’re being lazy, do even some work? show any curiosity? it’s standard in the EU, in the usa it’s recommended wtf do you want me to do?
Why are you getting so bent out of shape here? Jfc, grow up. I don’t want -you- to do anything and never did, unless you posted this in the first place.
A claim was made, I questioned the legitimacy, because the source was a YouTube video and my experience contradicts it. It’s reasonable to ask for more sources in this case when it’s being painted with such a broad brush.
Sure I could go looking for whatever I want, and what’s cool is I can probably find it, no matter what claim or which side of said claim. That’s why you ask for sources when someone posts a claim.
