Underfed, emaciated, growth-stunted chickens Explanation: Underfed, emaciated, growth-stunted chickens golpeados - bruised chickens http://vegforlife.org/VFLguide_June07.pdf • Egg-laying hens are among the most abused of all farm animals. • On factory farms, four or more hens are forced to live inside tiny wire enclosures called battery cages. In these confines, the hens are unable to stretch their wings or legs, fulfill social needs or engage in natural behaviors. • Constantly rubbing against the wire of battery cages, hens suffer severe feather loss and are covered with bruises and abrasions. • To prevent injuries caused by excessive pecking, a result of unnatural, overcrowded conditions, chickens’ beaks are seared off with a hot blade. • In order to shock their bodies into another egg-laying cycle when production declines, the hens are denied food, water and light for up to two weeks. This cruel process is known as forced molting. • Considered “spent” after egg production declines, laying hens are typically slaughtered after only one year in production. http://www.cabi.org/pdf/books/9781845932152/9781845932152.pd... see page 19 where it speaks to constraining the growth of chickens. HTH these help in someway. |
