Chickens have already been genetically manipulated (selective breeding) into laying almost 10 times the amount of eggs they normally do. Why do they need to be laying even more? It's so selfish.

Humans are disgusting. A friend of mine takes care of chicken that cant lay enough eggs to be profitable anymore. They're bound for a short, painful life with expensive vet visits after. It is insane. Mass torturing animals and selling it as a win to extend their torture is making me gag.
