Save Chicks From the Shredder

by: Lynn Hamilton
recipient: Parliament of Australia

Male chicks don't have much of a future in commerical egg hatchieries. Now, activists have recorded male chicks being shoved into a shredder and heartlessly destroyed en masse. They were one day old.

And this practice is not only legal in Australia, it's commonly practiced. Hatcheries get away with shredding chicks because they have, for the most part, been able to keep it away from the watchful eyes of the public. The new recording of chicks maceration is the first of its kind.

Please join me in asking the government of Australia to make wholesale destruction of chicks via maceration or any other means illegal.

Dear Parliament Members:

The practice of shredding male chicks wholesale is abhorent. A recednt recording by activists shows chicks who are only one day old being shoved into a shredder and destroyed. It is cruel and unusual. I think you know that this practice makes Australia look bad. Please outlaw maceration of chicks.
