    If they were sent through one by one, maybe. But you wanna bet they’re just literally shoveled into a hopper on top of each other while in sheer terror or being trampled to death by the others? You ever meet an animal? Do you really believe there’s no understanding of a bad situation?

      I’ve met baby chicks. They’re adorable, and about as self-aware as a furby. I’m not saying they don’t suffer, but they don’t suffer terror or panic the way a human would. And considering the life of a factory farm chicken, they definitely suffer less.

      Either way, we should end inhumane factory farming practices. If we stop torturing chickens for food, we will also stop shoveling baby chicks into a meat grinder.

        No they don’t suffer terror or panic as a human would, they suffer terror and panic in a way a chicken would, it’s still terror and panic. They also suffer pain, I imagine being ripped to death would be quite painful, human or not.
