The CPGs are laying at last, and the eggs are FERTILE! They were nearly a month later than usual to nest, so I was getting worried, but eggs are a GO.

Studying poultry farming and although it's not easy, definitely it is interesting. There are many aspects of this field that surely can be improved though (especially the animal welfare part).

These days I'm also very busy petsitting lots of dogs. Take a look at my favorite client above! Too cute!!!!

Hope you and your loved ones are doing good💓

We hear your cries, we feel your pain, and we are fighting to stop the absolute evilness of the human race, putting you through torture and not regarding your life at all, inflicting extremely unneeded abuse and neglection upon your desparate, suffering, helpless, and loving souls. We will never stop fighting to end the demand and supply of animal products and slaughterhouses globally and save you from a world of pain, that has happened to trillions of animals at the bloody hands of every slaughterhouse worker and animal product consumer! FUCK NON VEGANS WHO ACTIVELY PAY FOR ANIMAL PRODUCTS KNOWING THE SUFFERING THAT COMES WITH IT!!! Anyone can make a difference! 💓💓💓💓

Unfortunately just discovered a bird slaughtering facility in my neighborhood.

I was on a walk and, as a person who loves birds, was excited to hear bird sounds very close. It sounded vaguely gull-ish, so I looked up, but within a split second realized with horror that three feet in front of me on the sidewalk sat about ten crates cruelly overstuffed with live birds. Turkeys, chickens, and ducks. They couldn't move in the crates.

The turkeys had no room for any position other than laying. The crate squashing them down and together, it was the turkeys I heard, as they reacted to someone approaching. Black eyes of young turkeys, wondering what was next for them. Think of them, please, when you see their carcasses labeled with kind words in a grocery store this Thanksgiving season. Nothing kind happens to them. At no point in their life do they get to have quality time with any friends or family. It's the cruelest marketing there is.

Their crate was stacked atop two more crates stuffed with chickens. As small as the chickens were in comparison to the turkeys, there were so many packed in together that they could not turn around, and the crate was so shallow that their leg joint could only reach a maximum angle of 30 degrees. They were restless, and they were the majority. The other three stacks of crates were almost all chickens, the one exception being a crate of ducks.

The ducks were the liveliest. They seemed angriest, their crate second from the top of the stack, sandwiched between two crates of chickens. The ducks' long necks were forced into a dipped position. They communicated and tried their best to find egress. They don't want to be here, and they have never had a say in what happens to them. They want water and grass and there's only plastic and concrete and their own excrement.

A chicken in a crate in the middle of the stack relieves themselves, the excrement splashing forcefully onto the chickens in crates beside and below.

None of these birds can move. They have no options. There is no room, they are in literal cages. I don't know when they were delivered to the door of the slaughterhouse, and I don't know how much longer they will have to suffer there, smashed and aching and covered in shit. Impossibly confused about their situation.

I honestly hope, for their sakes, that they're dead by now. For their sakes and for my own peace, I hope they're dead, and I hope you think about them.
