Fast-food chain Chick-fil-A has sparked a social media backlash after announcing that it will soon allow certain antibiotics in the chickens it raises, citing supply issues.
Chick-fil-A restaurants in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico will transition “from chicken raised with No Antibiotics Ever (NAE) to chicken raised with No Antibiotics Important to Human Medicine (NAIHM), starting in the spring of 2024,” the company said in a statement posted on its website this week.
That’s zero sum, from the chicken-life perspective.
Die of infection or die by slaughter, their life isn’t changed by the variable in context.
Lol suffering means nothing! Us humans are gonna die at age 80 anyways. Might as well suffer for my adult life instead of living a happy life, what’s the difference, right?
My goodness, the lack of empathy for living creatures is just fucking wild. You can slaughter something AND not want it to lead a terrible life until its death, ya know.
Humans are clearly on a different territory from factory born animals for slaughter.
Again, antibiotics do not change their lived experience because they get no changes in conditions in return. Antibiotics are just for human profit
I’m afraid your sarcasm and irony were unclear despite the words used. But please correct that or me.
If you think antibiotics are to reduce animal suffering you’re deluded. It’s only to not let them die at inopportune times for the profit machine. The animals in factory farms are already experiencing suffering being belief and an early death is an escape.
I am not a proponent of routine antibiotic use in any animals (including us humans), unless it’s called for as in actually saving someone’s life.
I was caught at one of these moments where I wasn’t sure whether it was sincerely meant or humour, and tried to be mildly sarcastic about it.
Edit: Double checked. Thumbs up now.
Ah yes, nothing about your entire existence matters if the way you died wasn’t in an approved fashion.
Shit even if you just look at it in terms of the quality of the meat a stress free well fed animal will taste so much better than one that’s been stressed out its entire life fed literal garbage.
