1:23workers killed injured cells by hanging them on a forklift to be slowly

2:30at the hatchery workers quickly in roughly sort the males from females
2:34because male chicks don't lay eggs do not grow quickly enough to be
raised
2:38profitably for meat
2:40they are kill within hours after hatching
2:44male chicks are typically thrown into giant grinding machines well
still live
2:49this practice is deemed standard and acceptable by the egg industry
2:53another killing method is to drop mail checks into trash bags to be
smothered
