CHICKENS PREFER LIVING

Broiler chickens are raised for their flesh and spend their entire lives in filthy sheds with thousands of other birds, where intense crowding and confinement lead to outbreaks of disease. They are bred and drugged to grow large so quickly that their legs and organs can't keep up, making heart attacks, organ failure, and crippling leg deformaties common. When they are only 6 or 7 weeks old, they are crammed into cages and trucked to slaughter.
