Activity Log:

2/12/2026 • Greg Fuller • New standardized featured and social images with descriptive alt text.

11/17/2025 • Greg Fuller • Added "Male chicks born to egg-laying hens are killed shortly after hatching because they can’t lay eggs and aren’t profitable for meat; methods include maceration, gassing, and suffocation. Globally about 7 billion male chicks are culled each year (260 million in the U.S.), meaning every laying hen statistically has a brother who was killed at birth," with 4 citations. Not queued for fact-checking because this has already been fact-checked in /chicken-injustices

10/23/2025 • Greg Fuller • Added Danny Ishay video to Supplementary Info Section.

10/21/2025 • Greg Fuller • In the Summary section, I moved the last sentence to the top to emphasize justice over cruelty. This is to be more in alignment with last key point that the root of the problem is viewing nonhuman animals as mere things.
