Was not everywhere all the time so hot I know but then... just imagine a hot summer day, where most of us are not able to do anything.. I mean when it's so hot, you better stay home, wants to be just in the shadow, when you need some fresh air, ice cream and feel lazy all day long, when you sweat whatever you do and when you sweat too, when you do nothing at all...Imagine how you feel...
Did you ever thing how an animal feels then? Your cat, your dog? Yes laying and doing next to nothing.. you can really see how weak they are, how much it takes them to do something.. even eating is just a lot of work for them... right...
And now think about the animals you eat!
Where are they before you have them on your table? Right- in a stable, maybe in a barn... but most have their homes in a sticky and unloveable -yes let's call it what it is most for them.. a container.
Do they have air condition? Mostly not. Can they get out, when it's getting boiling hot inside... Mostly not - well if you just have a small stable, then mostly these animals are lucky to go out and a cow and a horse is mostly also able to come out but a chicken? Most chicken stay inside in the battery hens. Not able to move much... chicken need to have space, yet room to spread their wings, because this is the way they can cool down the body temperature. But you know- we know -most of them have next to little space to do that, so they open their beak and pant like a dog. But that is absolutely not enough. Because this way their circulation is only able to be stable a few hours.
Oh yes the farmers have something on the ceiling, which can distribute water over the chicken.. Well problem is, this system can only cool down a bit and the hotter it get's outside, the less it helps and the air gets to wet too. And that's why every summer, thousands of chicken, turkeys and ducks die a heat death. Well, I was never thinkin' about that before I read about this in a newspaper.
So the questions came up once again.. how many rights do the animals have? How much are they worth for us... Seems like nothing..
Why do they not let them out? God point, the thing is... it seems to much work and it also seems cheaper to keep them inside and let them die then to lose them by letting them out. So no wonder that their is for example a mass extinction in Austria or Germany or USA when trying to get a little fresh air, because the animals kill each other, because they crush one another just to get little fresh air which comes through under a little door column.
The journalist who wrote an article about this was asking the veterinary department and the ministry about the numbers of dead chicken and co in summer.. they all had just a guessing... and the numbers they gave where just so little or they just said.. "Oh just a few..." but what are a few, when 4000 till 12 000 chicken dies in one hot summer day????
Why are they no numbers? Because the farmers must not tell the ministry how much they lose and only the companies transporting the dead animals give out numbers when they're high.. but the thing is, they usually don't do ...it's custom and of course business and money.
So it seems inside comes no fresh air and outside comes no information. And yes the numbers could spoil the appetite.
So, still wanna eat chicken?
LOVE & LIGHT
