I could not open this link. I have to put on my rose colored glasses and try not to think what is in this web sight.

No, no, there were no gory pictures in it - just the text of the article. I would not look at a picture of a machine shredding a live baby chicken! I would not be able to sleep for three months if I did! Just the thought of it has been bothering me since I read it...

China puts temporary ban on wildlife trafficking!!! Now, I don't know if this will be properly enforced or if it will become permanent but it is a BIG step in the right direction because, as you must know by now, China is the worst when it comes to trafficking endangered and threatened species.

I read it and wish I didn't. Newly hatched chick feel pain like any other chicken. They are going to find a way to sex the egg before it can hatch.
It would be easier for the person to kill an egg instead of a chick. What they forget is that the unhatched still has feelings. The only advantage there would be is that the chick is not aware of what is going on.
