inb4 people learn about what the animal industry actually does to their unnecessary animals. The baby boy chicks are just as worse off imo. 😞

I don’t know where you live, but in Germany there’s organic eggs available that fund the keeping of male chicks so that they may grow up and live a life as a cock, rather than be shredded or, as of recently, transported to Eastern Europe to be shredded.

Male calves don't produce milk which is why they are killed after they are born in the first place :(

No silly, some of them also get to live chained to a small hut for some months before they are turned into veal

I don't know for everywhere, but we don't chain them and they only stay for about 2 weeks (2 weeks is the minimum due to regulations) in their hut, after that they go to the veal farm where live in a "straw yard barn" (a barn with one big open space with straw on the floor) where they call walk freely and they also go outside daily.

But that's for organic farming in the Netherlands, it may be different from a nonorganic farm in the US.

For sure, it is definitely regional whether or not they are group housed or given freedom to run around. There are a variety of setups even within North America.
