chicks chickens eggs Mercy For Animals hatchery
The Chicago-based group Mercy for Animals has just released a shocking new undercover investigation, which documents male chicks being ground up alive in an egg industry hatchery. You see, because male chicks don't lay eggs—which means lost profits for the corporations—the industry doesn't consider them worth keeping alive.
Of course, I could describe this inexcusable cruelty until I'm blue in the face, but the video says it all:
Pretty horrific, right? It's important to note that this is a routine practice for both regular AND commercial free-range, cage-free, and organic eggs. Think free-range means cruelty-free? Think again.
What do you think: If you wouldn't grind up chicks alive—is it any more acceptable to pay other people to do it for you?
We Have A "Not A Nugget" Costume!!! August 30, 2007
Posted by Pulin Modi at August 30, 2007 11:18 AM | Permalink | Comments ( 7 ) | TrackBackWe are happy to announce that our very own "Nugget" (who is, coincidentally, not a nugget) has his very own costume. That's right, now he joins the ranks of comic superheroes, movie characters, and even the Teletubbies in having a costume in his likeness! Here's a photo from the trial run around our office and the quite amusing instructions that the costume shop sent over for its use.
You should for sure expect some more hilarious photos in the coming months!
Oh geez and speaking of absolutely funny stuff, did anyone else see Superbad? I loved it! Not exactly a family fun kind of film, but I sure did laugh a lot and it reminded me of high school all over again.
