eggs come from chickens. chickens are bred. half of all hatched chicks are male. because they are useless to the egg industry, they are dumped into a big grinder (while fully conscious) and crushed into a paste. half of all chickens bred for the egg industry are immediately killed. seven billion every year, thirteen every minute.

of course, female chickens are also killed at a fraction of their natural lifespan once they stop being productive.
