    Chicken will eat one another if they are in distress. It doesn’t have to be starvation. It can be too many chickens packed into a small space.

        This happens with pigs, had to separate them when a baby was born ( I would have separated beforehand, but wasn’t up to me) but yeah they’ll eat all that stuff and occasionally a baby.

          People cause this level of social stunting by splitting up families and friends and then continue to tell themselves “it’s ok, they’re just livestock, so stupid!” and then take absolutely zero responsibility for fucking families up for so many generations that the animals become monsters to each other.

            Now you’re going to blame people for when a new lion takes over a pride and kills all the kittens.

      If you packed me like that with other humans, I would probably get pretty hangry and start taking bites out of the person next to me.
