What’s grim? 9.4 billion chickens are killed every year in the US. That’s 25.7 million a day

Grim is the thought experiment of imagining 1.8 million chicken's being gassed to death. It's nearly psychopathic to think it's not just because human's kill exponentially more everyday. Not to disimiliar to brushing off someone's dying in a car accident because there's over 40,000 motor vehicle fatalities a year.

But that's what we do, don't we? You don't care about someone on the other side of the world dying on the road, or the next city over. It's not even newspaper-worthy. It's just another day.
