alt Hacker NewsI raised chickens as a teenager, mostly for eggs, but also meat. Chickens are terrible, I hate them. They're mean, cannibalistic, and I can easily see them evolving gigantism like other theropod did and becoming apex predators. I honestly think eating them isn't bad.
Nevertheless, encouraging cruelty in poultry keepers is a bad thing. Casual cruelty has a corrosive effect on people.

I wouldn’t say our chickens are mean. They are incredibly stupid though. Some kinds of birds can be smart, but chickens aren’t one of them.

I protest. They are cutie pies.
As a huge eggs lover, who eats at least 3 eggs a day, I dream that one day I can raise chickens to have infinite supply of eggs.
