I saw a video that won’t leave me, of male chicks being tossed alive into a burning container because they are no use to the egg industry. Because people like eating eggs and egg products. This is worse than seeing chicks chucked onto a conveyor that drops them into a grinder, that, at least, is a faster death.
My conscience won’t allow me to turn away from the grotesqueness of our species, where I can bear it. But I think this has affected me more than most – except maybe seeing a crocodile skinned alive with a pointed saw.
Like many of you, I fantasise about retribution for these crimes. Years ago, I did try to find people cooking dogs alive with a blowtorch. I failed, and now I’m old.
Awful. Our species is truly awful.
