Animal Equality takes on male chick killing in Brazil

Animal Equality is working to end the practice of male chick killing in Brazil. The organization has released a powerful video that showcases the brutal reality of the egg industry, where male chicks are often killed shortly after hatching because they are considered to be of no use in egg production.

Male chicks are not able to lay eggs, so they are disposed of in cruel and inhumane ways, such as being gassed or ground up alive. Animal Equality is calling on the Brazilian government to ban this practice and end the suffering of millions of chicks every year. The organization is urging companies to use technology that can determine the sex of chicks before they hatch, in order to spare the lives of male chicks and put an end to this needless cruelty.
