With every egg demanded, many male chicks are killed…
This is standard practice all over the world in factories.
In USA alone, 200 million chicks are killed at birth at hatcheries yearly.
"Whatever living beings there may be — feeble or strong, long, stout,
or of medium size, short, small, large,
those seen or those unseen, those dwelling far or near,
those who are born as well as those yet to be born -
may all beings have happy minds.
Let him not deceive another nor despise anyone anywhere.
In anger or ill will let him not wish another ill.
Just as a mother would protect her only child with her life
even so let one cultivate a boundless love towards all beings.” - The Buddha (Metta Sutta)
