Debeaking
In order to keep the hens from pecking one another to death out of frustration in the crowded cages, each chick has a large portion of her sensitive beak sliced off with a burning-hot blade. She is not given any pain relief, and many birds are not able to eat because of the pain and die from dehydration and a weakened immune system. Even in the least-crowded cages in the industry (five hens per cage), each hen will spend her life with four other birds in a crowded space about the size of a file drawer, unable to spread even one wing. |
