Meet your meat. Chicken and turkey's sad life.

A bird's life ...
Broiler' chickens are slaughtered when they are 45 days old; turkeys at 20 weeks.


Chickens have been genetically manipulated broilers now grow so rapidly that the heart and lungs are not developed well enough to support the remainder of the body, resulting in congestive heart failure and tremendous death losses. Modern broiler chickens also experience crippling leg disorders and lameness because their legs are not capable of supporting their abnormally heavy bodies.

Did you know?
Chickens are inquisitive animals who, when in natural surroundings, enjoy dust-bathing, making nests, roosting in trees, and searching for food.

Like us, chickens form friendships and strong family ties. They love their young and mourn the loss of loved ones.

According to animal behaviorist Dr. Chris Evans, chickens are as smart as mammals, including some primates. He explains that chickens are able to understand that recently hidden objects still exist, which is beyond the capacity of small children. Furthermore, Dr. Joy Mench, professor and director of the Center for Animal Welfare at the University of California at Davis explains, "Chickens show sophisticated social behavior. They can recognize more than a hundred other chickens and remember them. They have more than thirty types of vocalizations."



A hen's life ...

The rotten egg industry.


Over 95% of the chickens raised to lay eggs in the U.S. are forced to live crammed together inside battery cages, small barren wire cages stacked in rows inside filthy windowless sheds that can stretch the length of two football fields.

Typical battery cages confine five to 11 hens. With each hen given less than half a square foot of living space (an area less than a standard 8.5" x 11" piece of paper), she is unable to walk freely or even fully stretch her wings.

Hens with broken, damaged, and feces-covered feathers packed into tiny wire battery cages so small they cannot even spread their wings.
Diseased hens suffering from huge, untreated growths and infections, as well as blindness, and birds unable to walk.

Hens trapped in the wire of their cages, left without any access to food or water.
Dead hens left to decompose in cages with live hens still producing eggs for human consumption.
Hens who have escaped their cages wandering in manure pits with no access to water.
Live hens thrown away in trash bins or dumpsters, left to die among carcasses.



Turkeys also suffer from unnatural breeding. Those who don't die on the factory farm are shipped to the slaughterhouse at just a fraction of their natural lifespan. At the slaughterhouse, fully conscious chickens and turkeys are shackled upside-down by their ankles to a moving conveyor belt. The birds are then given intensely painful electric shocks, which are intended to immobilize them to make it easier to slit their throats. The shocks are frequently not powerful enough to render them unconscious. After being shocked, the birds' throats are slashed, usually by a mechanical blade, and blood begins rushing out of their bodies.
