@makesnorlaxhappy ...
@makesnorlaxhappy that's a good point.?

@ellegeejay19 ...
@ellegeejay19 because most of the animals aren't? treated this way... they are abused usually worse for milk eggs etc

I'm a vegetarian ...
I'm a vegetarian and this is a question for vegans and @farmsanctuary1. Since the animals are being raised in a great and humane way, why is it still not okay to eat their? eggs? Same goes for milk. I personally don't see anything wrong with eating products from the animal if it doesn't hurt them, if it's from the ones you personally raise. (Hence why I'm veggie and not vegan.) Thoughts?

@raingal the eggs ...
@raingal the eggs are unfertilized because chickens drop eggs every day, regardless if they are fertilized or not. It? is basically the chicken's menstrual cycle.

@RookofIvory just ...
@RookofIvory just fyi, Burger King is actually an industry leader in animal welfare. In 2008, they made a deal with Peta to treat? their animals better--well as good as slaughtering animals can be. So buying from them is supporting a good company. I mean, it's just something to know :)

hi how come the ...
hi how come the eggs dun have chick inside?sorry i m a bit blur and will like to know? more about it =P

I love what you ...
I love what you people do? Farm Sanctuary.

@batcountryrabid ...
@batcountryrabid Bye? f*g.

@RookofIvory Well ...
@RookofIvory Well seeing as how we're both bickering like twats over the internet, I think we've both lost human points, and are equal? losers :D now if you'll excuse me, I have some heart disease to NOT get :P Smell ya later nigga.

@batcountryrabid ...
@batcountryrabid That's cool. As long as you're supporting corporations that own and run factory farms I'll tally that in the win column for me. And I find double downs to be kind of tasty, I just don't particularly like the KFC franchise, so I'm not at all wasting my money. And if you go through with your retaliation, you're? just deepening my victory. Thanks, loser. watch?v=AUQG9PhDNnk <-- This will be me, tomorrow.

@RookofIvory ...
@RookofIvory actually I'm just normally a vulgar person. It's fun. You seem to be mad, wasting your money just to teach? me a lesson? Like I said I don't really care, because I'm not wasting my money. I just care about my health. But because of your comment, because I'm kinda amused now, I'm going to go to Burger King and get a BK Veg, supporting a fast food chain's choice to cater to the vegetarian crowd. Except not today because I already had a tofu scramble and am quite full, so tomorrow.

@batcountryrabid I ...
@batcountryrabid I will enjoy my bloody s**t and p**s covered maggot infested chicken very much, thank you. It was delicious. The high level of profanity and so-womanly shame language leads me to believe that you are, contrary to your claim, very mad. Your posts are actively supporting factory farming because now I'm going to go to KFC tomorrow and buy a double down. Just for you. I wouldn't have otherwise done so because I'm not a fan of KFC. But vile little c**ts like you have to be opposed.?

@RookofIvory don't ...
@RookofIvory don't really care, AT ALL. Go ahead. I'm only concerned with my health. What others do I couldn't give a s**t. If you want to eat bloody, s**t and p**s covered, maggot infested chicken, go ahead :P? and I'll never think of you again f****t. Only pussies turn a blind eye to factory farming and corporations bleeding people dry of their money and health, and follow these fake food rules blindly. That's why I don't eat animals, because I research, and make my own choices. f**k off.

@batcountryrabid ...
@batcountryrabid Yeah, I am going to keep eating them. I eat pigs too, and they're extremely clever animals. An animal's intelligence won't stop me from eating it. Birds, on the other hand, are not? intelligent. They have tiny and primitive reptillian brains not adapted towards any behavior more intelligent than ripping apart their injured siblings in cannibalism. BTW, Because of your post, I just ate some chicken with BBQ sauce. Mm. Google "bird survives hawk attack" for more bird intelligence.

@RookofIvory keep ...
@RookofIvory keep telling yourself that. there is more evidence of them being intelligent and conscious than once known, mainly because of people actually studying them.? But it doesn't matter what I say does it? You don't care, you don't want to hear evidence, you just want to keep eating them and picking fights with people who choose a lifestyle of compassion. It's none of your business, but you all keep sticking your noses into it. Threatened--Because you're wrong, and you know it.

@batcountryrabid ...
@batcountryrabid LOL, birds are sweet and inquisitive and intelligent?? What are you smoking? Birds are incredibly stupid and aggressive. Blackbirds and some parrots are the only exceptions to being stupid. They are almost universally retarded.

Chickens are some ...
Chickens are some of the sweetest, most inquisitive birds there are. All birds are? amazing, very intelligent. People really take them for granted.

@ClaireLovesWicca ...
@ClaireLovesWicca you? can't neuter roosters.

Why not just ...
Why not just neauter the roosters??

Thanks so much for? ...
Thanks so much for? this lovely video and useful information!

That's awesome what ...
That's awesome what you do with the eggs and glad to see I'm not the only one who does? that! We have finches and one who I've been caring for to grow her feathers back. We gather up the eggs and feed them back to our females, including lil' Eartha who has 90% of her feathers back, all because I've been giving her the eggs they lay. That's just awesome what you are doing for the industrial hens.

You have the? best ...
You have the? best job ever. Thank you for helping these great little animals! Go vegan :)

Yes!?
Yes!?

Fantastic! I've ...
Fantastic! I've always wondered what you guys did with the eggs. Much love to those adorable chickens. =) And what an awesome series. Can't wait to see what the next one's going to? be about!!

very interesting . ...
