When I was in 1st grade we had a living science project where we incubated eggs and watched them hatch.

Most of those chicks just went to farmers when the lesson was done, but I kept mine and named her Pepper.

I think I’m vegan today because of her.

there is no ethical way to commodify a living being.

But such modest measures would cut into their margins, and if there’s one thing that should be understood about almost every major US meat company, it’s this: They will always cut corners on animal welfare to increase profit unless they’re legally required to change.
