A Delaware animal shelter is working to find new homes for thousands of chicks that were left abandoned in a U.S. Postal Service truck for three days.

Delaware’s Department of Agriculture said it received a call earlier this month from USPS saying the Postal Service had an “undeliverable box of baby birds.” About 12,000 chicks had been shipped from the Pennsylvania-based Freedom Ranger Hatchery to farms across the country.

State agricultural officials say that when they found the chicks at a USPS distribution center in Delaware, around 4,000 were dead.

    Mate, this was literally my point. You’re crying about few dead thousand, but want a genocide.

    Wait, so not artificially breeding more individuals of a species is a genocide? Is it genocide when a guy jizzes into a sock too? Come on, don’t be ridiculous.

    lab meat

    Lab meat has been around the corner about as long as a fully self driving tesla which totally, absolutely will happen in two weeks, promise.

    The fact is, we don’t need to eat animals, we do it for (taste) pleasure and everything done to those animals should be viewed through this lense. Saying “I will just wait for lab meat” is a cheap excuse at best.

        Nah that’s not how it works. We all need nutrients and as long as those nutrients can be consumed in a bioavailable form it doesn’t matter (for the body) where they come from.

        Edit: just saw your profile and you seem to be a rage troll so I won’t be engaging further with you. Byee

          you aren’t my doctor or my nutritionist. you don’t know what I need, or anyone else.

          and people need more than nutrients

                  it also requires aesthetic needs to be met, social needs, and self actualization. for many people, those may require that you, for instance, master french cuisine, or eat your grandmother’s lasagna, or just have hotdog and beer at the ballpark.
