A Delaware animal shelter is working to find new homes for thousands of chicks that were left abandoned in a U.S. Postal Service truck for three days.
Delaware’s Department of Agriculture said it received a call earlier this month from USPS saying the Postal Service had an “undeliverable box of baby birds.” About 12,000 chicks had been shipped from the Pennsylvania-based Freedom Ranger Hatchery to farms across the country.
State agricultural officials say that when they found the chicks at a USPS distribution center in Delaware, around 4,000 were dead.
Before you dislike this comment I want you to consider the objective logic here.
This situation, and literally billions like it are happening every year for one single reason, people enjoy (not need) consuming animal products. As a vegan I am actively trying to stop these situations, if you are not vegan, what are doing for these animals? What are you doing for the billions of others that die each day in horrendous ways?
If you truly care, consider the bigger picture, and consider your own hand in it as a consumer of the product of violence.
These facts might be harsh, and I don’t intend to harm you, I hope you can see that these are just facts, not insults.
Modern factory farm chickens only live to about 2-3 years, even in good conditions. Sorry, but their lives just aren’t that important to me compared to everything else in the world. To me, these facts aren’t harsh, they’re just reality. We have bred chickens to be disposable and used as food. So how can I be upset that they’re treated as a disposable food source?
It’s a matter of opinion. You are convinced this practice is horrible and evil. I, and a large portion of the population, just don’t see it that way. We see it the same as farming. You grow something, then you harvest it. I’m all for better quality of life for livestock, but only because it leads to better quality meat. Ethics don’t really factor into it because I don’t see anything unethical about it.
I get the feeling that you think if everyone knew how the sausage was made, we’d all stop eating it and demand change. But we already know how the sausage is made, and it’s delicious.
you don’t know what others need

What a despicable way to respond to a well reasoned and compassionate comment.
I get that inner reflection is difficult, I really do. But if someone’s message hits you in a particularly poignant way, responding with cruelty just doesn’t seem helpful for anyone involved. I hope you’re able to grow past it and hold a mirror to yourself.
Look, horrible people who understand, accept, and celebrate atrocities always have and always will exist. These are tiny percentages of society. Are you really that horrible of a person? Or maybe you are just so deep in denial that you go for a distraction like childish insults that help you avoid facing reality? Or maybe just a troll?
In any case, I will not engage with you any further. Please reflect on your own views, actions, and words.
