I am serious. I know that it is extremely cruel and I agree with you. I just think it’s weird that people are only selectively outraged with this and not with the animal cruelty that happens to the chickens that are for eating.

For example if I had to choose between being a male chick born in the egg industry or in the cock fighting business I would probably choose the fighting since I would rather fight for my life than be put in a blender alive? Maybe that’s not a common opinion and people think that’s more humane than fighting.

People need to eat, they don't need cruel entertainment. And no, eating meat isn't the same as entertainment from watching animals fight.

They don’t need to eat meat (according to all major dietician organizations). Since it is not out of necessity, it is for pleasure, same as watching animals fight.

Not all countries do that btw.

Also, if we're really comparing, I don't think you'd have much thought on choices at 1 week old, considering you wouldn't even have self awareness.

Which countries don’t do this?

Human babies also don’t have self awareness. I don’t think that’s a trait that justifies killing someone.
