For those that eat eggs, please watch this.

For every hen laying eggs, there is a male chick that is killed, caged eggs, free range eggs, barn laid eggs, organic eggs, backyard eggs, doesn't matter.

I just want you to watch it, that's all. I'm honestly not trying to cause a shite fight. I'd just like to make sure that people are honest with themselves. If you do eat eggs, please don't avoid this video.

For those that don't eat eggs, you may not want to bother, it might be too much.

Peace.

Rawboomer I have a question. You can of course choose to not answer but I am just wondering if you are also anti-abortion. The reason that I ask is just that I know a few vegans who are super super anti eating eggs in particular but then are vehemently pro-choice and this confuses me.

There are certainly other threads for an abortion debate but telefunken's comment here just made me think of that.

i've never understood what pro-choice and all that is, really. i can only speak for myself and my choice would be to never have an abortion. and i never have had one, up to this point. others are going to make "their choice" and they will live with whatever choice they make, like i live with mine. as i stated in a previous post, emotoinal and (moral) choices are best made with truthful information. my reasons for not having an abortion are mine, and would not be of much help to anyone facing that choice.; ▶ Reply to This

Secondarily, rawboomer....explain how a fertilized egg suffers by being eaten by me, please. (I'm drinking it before it knows existence, no?)

If I know something I'm eating suffered in the process of creating my food, I'll find another source. ~telefunken

i already explained that in my post, but it seems my remark hit your hot button, so i will hopefully clarify it, like butter. your statement (above): if if i know something suffered in the process of creating my food, i'll find another source. and in my post, if you will reread it, ~knowing that it is the aborted 'little chick' of henny penny and the little rooster that 'could,~ would make a compassionate person understand, that the parents suffer. the 'little chick' of their 'fertility union' will never have a life, cause you sucked it down, thus no existance for it to know.; ▶ Reply to This

But they don't come cooler than me my friend. I dare say I have no hot button regarding personal food choices; since I don't generally care what other people choose to eat. You may be confusing my verbosity for conviction (which I don't possess).

Anyway, to the point >>>

The parents of the liquid "pre-chick" are suffering because I drank their apparently unlucky could-be chick? This is your position? Well, I'm compassionate but I'm also rational. How much awareness are you assigning to the average chicken I wonder. Actually I don't wonder. Do chickens get sad knowing their egg never developed into a big chicken? Do they hate me more than the hungry fox?

I guess, in your view, if a fox ate the "pre-chick" the fox did a wrong to mommy and daddy chicken too?; ▶ Reply to This

But, I'm not inclined to be worried about the spiritsouls of anything when I'm deciding what to eat.

It's the visible suffering of anything that I'm opposed to....not the imagined.; ▶ Reply to This

I don't eat eggs anymore but when I did, my family gets them from a farm that lets the chickens live happily free range and die of old age. Arghh I couldn't watch all of it, it's just horrifying what they do to those poor chicks, I don't know how they can live with themselves!!; ▶ Reply to This

That sounds like fun.. There is a thing called double dutch where two girls hold two ropes and you have to jump them both at the same time.. maybe you could find a couple of girls to try this with you. It's pretty impressive when you see it..
