Poultry Farming Advancements – America’s Heartland

We’re eating more chicken today than ever before. With increased chicken choices at fast food restaurants and chicken being a popular choice for those looking for a low fat, high protein meal, the demand for chicken grows and so does the need to produce more birds for market. We’ll take you to Arkansas where one agricultural operation works to build a better bird! Visit tinyurl.com to see the rest of episode 508.

  2. @wasabi622 well that’s a good point. There are few bad companies, but those companies usually are incredibly large. Before I was a vegetarian I would always eat tyson chicken wings. In fact, almost of the chicken I ate came from tyson. My school had tyson chicken and I used to love KFC (supplied from tyson). I might be an unusual exception, but it seems like there are a select few companies that do this, but they are done on a very large scale.

  4. @TurtleTheBlue Oh no, don’t worry about it, I didn’t find anything rude about it. 🙂
    Though, why is it assumed that when a farm treats their chickens right, it’s the exception, while the farms that don’t are the majority? Isn’t it more likely that it’s the other way around? In the news we hear of Muslim terrorists and Catholic priests who molest children, yet we know that most Muslims are not terrorist, nor are the majority of priests pedophiles. Are farms any different?

  5. @wasabi622 A) Yes they are ground up, regulations “prevent” this, but it definetley happens behind the scenes. B) They dont cut all of the beack off, just the tip. C) You probraly work at one of the nicer “farms” D) sorry if I was rude, I’m sure these letters are a little annoying

  6. @SuperAnimalDrummer Male chicks aren’t ground up alive. They’re euthanized via cervical dislocation then donated to wildlife organizations that feed them to their animals. Also, many are kept for breeding and experimental purposes. Beaks are not cut off, for if they were, they wouldn’t be able to eat, they’re trimmed to minimize damage, chickens have a strict pecking order, and pecking amongst themselves is unavoidable. I’m a pre-vet student working on a poultry farm.

  7. I dont like when animals are treated and handled as a product, not animal. Those are not things, those are living animals

    This video is disgusting, it really is immoral

  10. @SanlianaCung Because it is insulting to those who eat meat, eating everything in moderation is better for you than being completely vegetarian or completely carnivorous

  11. @SanlianaCung Vegetarians do not get enough protein, and if thats a fact, prove it. Global warming isn’t proven by anyone, there is only word of mouth from people who claim that it is caused by man, however it is not. The planet is heating up because well.. it is, however winters are colder. But you keep living in your the world is doomed way of life, Ill keep farting, eating meat and dumping rubbish just to spite recycling loving vegetarians. And no one said anything about global warming.
