A better way to do what.
Maybe we could genetically convert all the males to females so they will lay eggs?
Do you think an egg producer will want to reduce their profit margins to allow millions of male baby chicks grow up and have a nice happy life where they are fed and allowed to live free range in a lovely open field with access to a heated barn for inclement weather and overnight?
Gassing is fairly painless and death in a macerator/mincing machine is very quick almost instantaneous.
By the way its not just male chickens it happens to, deformed chicks and slow hatchers are also disposed of the same way regardless of sex.
So as gruesome as it sounds its probably the best way of dealing with an unwanted by product of the egg industry.
