#3 Killing The Weak

Workers sort through the thousands of chicks in an inhuman way, to see which will live and which will die.Like a quality control process in industrial factories. The heads of weaker chicks are torn off while the baby chicks are still alive and thrown into a trash bag. Some of them aren't even dead.

#4 Selected 'Lucky' Ones

The selected ones are thrown into a conveyor belt.

#7 Alternative

Those crates are shut in dark cupboards the first day, and then sent to industrial farms and pumped with growth hormones to come into their fully grown size within 40 days. Remember: if you love to eat chicken, which is absolutely fine, you can always buy certified humanely raised poultry.
