Closed petition Stop male day old chicks being killed.
Closed on
Millions of male chicks are killed every year. Because the industry has no monetary use for them. Once hatched they are sexed at one day old. Then separated to be ground to a pulp. Not very humane.
All Battery hens are all female. So males have no use.
