Did you know chickens are the land animal most frequently killed for food?
About 136 million chickens are killed each day worldwide and an additional 305 million hens are kept for commercial egg production.
The below video provides a glimpse into a chicken’s life - if that chicken is unlucky enough to be born into the meat industry.
Her name is Jane, andshe is one of the nine billion chickens raised - and killed - for meat each year in the United States.
In the 1950s, it took 84 days to raise a five-pound chicken. Today, because of selective breeding and growth-promoting drugs, birds reach slaughter weight in just 45 days. Those 45 days are filled with misery: birds like Jane are kept cruelly confined in small, dark, filthy sheds and later denied food, water and protection from weather as they are transported to slaughter in tiny crates.
Together, we can end this cruel cycle. To take action now, share this video. You know the truth behind farming chickens for food. Now, you can help educate someone else.
