Crippled Birds

An investigator from Compassion Over Killing gives water to this crippled chick. Chickens are genetically manipulated and dosed with antibiotics so that they grow bigger and faster than they ever would naturally. Chickens’ breasts weigh seven times more today than they did 25 years ago, so that by the age of 6 weeks, many broiler chickens are so top-heavy that they can no longer walk.
