So Vegans, another small victory: Egg producers pledge to stop killing newborn male chicks. What do you think?

"Public outrage over the practice escalated after an undercover video of chicks being led into an industrial grinder in an Iowa hatchery was released by Mercy for Animals, a Chicago-based organization.

    It's a good step forward - also for what it represents. More people are becoming aware and speaking out, and these industries are being forced to change their practices because of it.

    This is what veganism is all about: Putting the truth in people's faces until they can't ignore it anymore. Right on. I'll gladly put up with being called, "smug", "self-righteous", and "annoying" as long as it takes to end the holocaust against animals. :)

    😃😄👍 Sounds GREAT, but....

    "Ovo sexing, developed in the Netherlands by the biotech startup In Ovo, is a simple test that identifies the sex of a future chick while it is still inside a fertilized egg. With it, a hatchery could terminate male eggs before they hatch, and use the embryos for vaccines or pet food...." 😢😢😢😢😢

    Wonderful. The sex ratio for chickens is about 1:1. How many cockerels have YOU adopted?

    Ridiculous. Little boy chickens are every bit as tasty as little girl chickens.
