The chickens weren’t doing the coke. I think.

    Dude I think it’s a bit disingenuous to compare culling to battery farms.

    If we wanted to be 100% totally cruelty free we’d stop eating meat and stop industrialising the deaths of other species, but hey I’m also a meat eater and accept my sin there. I think by it’s very premise the meat industry is never going to be completely without cruelty, but I’d at least like the animals to have a happy dignified life before it’s ended for us to eat.

    Culling (I presume and hope as humanely as possible) is one of those realities of farming food. It’s my understanding that even if you don’t eat meat, consuming produce from most farms will mean that your product like resulted in the deaths of various creatures known as “pests”.

    I hope to one day own my own plot in the country and have my own chickens, whom I will take very good care of for the awesome supply of free eggs they give me and my family. Until then I’ll try to just shop as responsibly as possible.

    P.S. The site you linked doesn’t have SSL… but generally in Australia we trust the local animal rights groups RSPCA to tell us what’s up and what’s safe. i.e. https://rspcaapproved.org.au/product/eggs/
