dam, it takes lettuce at least 60 days to reach maturity.
But 40 days...for a chicken?
Who knew brutality could be so delicious.
I have to say I'm impressed how efficient these factories are. I mean by how they run it.

Just fucking awful living conditions for the chickens

If that's a counter-argument, you've missed the point.
If it's an attempt to draw parallels, that's okay.
It's depressing to me to see this kind of stuff.
I bought a couple ex-battery hens (pretty much treated the same as meat hens, except they're kept for longer) about a year ago, took just two weeks for them to go from being nearly featherless, sickly things to lovely healthy chickens. They soon paid for themselves with the eggs they started laying and they're low maintenance; all they need is some good food and water, a safe place to sleep and some space to walk around and if you spend enough time around them they'll happily let you pick them up and pet them.
Honestly, it's a no brainer; you'd be saving them from a terrible fate and you'd be getting yourself a brilliant pet.
Serves them right for being so goddamn delicious.
Efficiency is brutal as hell. I'm more compelled to raise my own chickens, but then again, I dream a lot of things. Makes me wonder if we got rid of these 'fast grown' chickens if there would make impacts in a demanding world.
This is disgusting.

k i'll just go over here and enjoy my chick-fil-a then
nice
That makes me sad.. I kind of dislike chicken meat anyways, and seeing that, I think I dislike it even more now..
I feel bad but chicken be too good to stop eating
I've had chickens before. We either buy like, a crate of chicks, let them reach maturity then send them off to the butcher, or buy like, 6 laying hens for the eggs. Either way they never last more then a year but they last way more then just 40 days.
Also about 1/4 of the chicks smother or squish each other to death whiten the first few weeks trying to huddle together.
This is even cooler!

Factory chicken tastes bland as shit though.
Isn't battery farming illegal in the uk now?

For whatever reason, even as a former meat cutter/butcher that was kinda scary.
I've always understood that we need to mass produce cattle/livestock so we can create food. But I've always believed in respecting the animal, in the sense that it is a living thing with a purpose and function (Just like us). It may not be as smart as us or able to do a lot of shit we do, but it still feels pain and knows when it is miss treated. For whatever reason, animals that are raised for slaughter in decent environments (eggs for example, for whatever reason free-range chickens produce better eggs then caged chickens) tend to be better quality.

For some reason, I can see a dystopian future with a factory like this, cutting into human flesh.

Have you seen cloud atlas yet?
Was having a chat about this with my friend earlier.
Is there a link between hormones and women?
By that i mean is the hormones that are making the chickens grow faster affecting humans?
I heard that puberty/ovulating for women is now younger then before.
Should i put my tinfoil hat and buy only free range chicken, or are they safe to eat ( supposedly)
Imagine being the little baby chick just getting hatched, and thinking what the fuck is going on.

I was at my uncles about a year ago, they live out in the bush somewhere.
They had a little chicken coop on their property and they had a few hens and a rooster wandering about. It was kinda cool to see because you don't see it so often.
The rooster looked ballin' too. You could tell he was the big man 'cuz all the hens were always hanging around him.

The lambs being chopped reminded me of this:

Hay man. If you liked the food, the chicken didn't die in vain.

God, some of you people are obnoxious as shit.

Well it's not like we give them all brochures when they're hatched.
