Grayson Perry - Barbaric Splendour, 2003

My favorite place. 

Buying organic eggs sadly doesn’t change this. Male chicks are useless to the industry because they don’t lay eggs. They are unprofitable (just like male calves in the dairy industry) and therefore killed within the first week of hatching. 

The legal methods of killing baby chicks worldwide are: electrocution, shredding in an industrial grinder, cervical dislocation (breaking their neck), death by gas and suffocation in bags.

And not only that; but supporting this industry also means supporting the poultry/meat industry because all laying hens get sent to slaughter once their productiveness drops and they are no longer profitable.

“Free-range”, “organic” or regular, the egg industry is one of the most cruel forms of animal exploitation. We have the power to change this.

There are so many animals waiting in shelters and rescue stations to be adopted! 

Don’t neglect the old ones or the weird looking ones, they need a loving home too! 

Don’t buy from breeders or pet shops, there is no need to obsess over one particular dog breed, you’re doing so much good by adopting the animals that already exist and are in need of your help. A strong bond or a companionship is never determined by breed anyway. :)
