>Nearly 2 million chickens at farms in Maryland and Delaware will be destroyed instead of processed for meat, a result of coronavirus-related staffing shortages at processing plants.

>"With reduced staffing, many plants are not able to harvest chickens at the pace they planned for when placing those chicks in chicken houses several weeks ago," before social distancing measures took effect, a trade group for the Delmarva poultry industry said in a statement.

They should just release them. The weak will be eaten by coyotes immediately and only the strongest and smartest will survive and breed, producing extremely strong and intelligent chickens. Some time next year when farming is back to normal and farmers think they’re out of the woods, an army of 200lb gigaroosters will stomp out of the woods and peck the farmers to death then free their kin from slavery.

Nooo that's not fair. Please tell me this is a lie. There is no justice in the world if true.

If true why is a whole chicken just as expensive as it's always been at the supermarket? Gas prices went down due to low demand. Why hasn't the price of milk and Chicken?

"The decay spreads over the State, and the sweet smell is a great sorrow on the land. Men who can graft the trees and make the seed fertile and big can find no way to let the hungry people eat their produce. Men who have created new fruits in the world cannot create a system whereby their fruits may be eaten. And the failure hangs over the State like a great sorrow.

"The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And met with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains.

Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.

There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.”

The lake hawks and bald eagles around here dont go after anything as big as a duck. My biggest issue is foxes. Im buying some land in the next month or so as Ive done everything I can on this small plot.

I eat meat. I love meat.
But this. This is just infuriating. We should respect animals even when we eat them. We shouldn't waste it. We should use all of it. After all there was life there once. It was an animal before it was meat and we should respect it.

Whatever company is doing it should be hit hard, and i mean hard with penalties and fines. Such things shouldnt happen.
Its one of the reasone this world will not sustain itself.

It didn't happen, the chickens were taken to a green pasture.
But I wish it did happen.

I agree with the sentiment of respecting food (it was all alive at one point, meat or not) and avoiding wast, but the companies aren't to blame here. Blame the virus or the overreaction to it.

the meat processing industry has always done such a great job of hiring, training, retaining, and taking of the safety of its workers.

The meat industry was as nasty as other food (or not) industries of time time, but this book is almost silent spring levels of retarded propaganda.

It won't happen because it would be too easy, and because Devil people run this world.

It's actually the absolutely best time of the year to give these birds a chance to survive and even thrive outside for awhile.

>NO FUCKING KILL THEM!!

Jesus please come back we're fucked.
