Shredding alive for... Eggs? 🤔
Edit: appreciate the replies! I actually already knew that, I think the verbage just threw me off. Poor chickies
Basically, male chicks are worthless on egg farms. They all get put into a macerator to be disposed of. The rate at which they do this is unfathomable at a single farm alone.
And that's how mcnuggets are made
Male chicks are largely considered a waste-product of the poultry industry, you don't need many males to maintain the population. It's cheaper and easier to identify them once they hatch, at which point they have no economic value and so are killed.
Male chicks get shredded because they do not lay eggs.
Yes. Half the eggs you get in the supermarket actually come from splitting open the males rather than waiting for them to grow old enough to lay them.
Is true I think. Overstated a bit possibly?
IDK I don't work on a farm etc
Overstated how? Worldwide, around 7 billion male chicks are culled each year in the egg industry.

Quick tip for everyone: if you have no idea, don't present something as fact!
The person you're replying to didn't present anything as a fact they asked a question
"I heard you fucked a goat? I don't know, I wasn't around."
That's your takeaway with somebody asking if something is exaggerated or not?
So far all you've done is respond to someone who is basically asking about sources and tell them that they are wrong for asking and then respond to me with a false equivalency. What exactly are you contributing here? You haven't added anything other than saying everyone is wrong not providing any information and then acting combative.
You could have said why they are wrong, but you don't want to. You want to misrepresent what I said entirely so I don't know apparently you don't want to read either
