[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 157072, member: 1246"] [B]Obviously, the chickens need welfare more than us.....[/B] [LEFT]More than nine out of ten land animals killed for human consumption in the United States are chickens raised for meat, termed "broilers" by the factory farm chicken industry—approximately one million slaughtered every hour. The overwhelming majority of broiler chickens are confined inside barren, warehouse-like sheds on industrialized factory farms at such high stocking densities that most birds are denied many important natural behaviors. Due primarily to selective breeding for fast growth, these birds suffer both acute and chronic pain, as well as disabilities and illnesses caused by the unnaturally rapid growth, including leg disorders, crippling lameness, organ failure, and heart disease.
