Honestly par for the course for human treatment of chickens. See chick culling [1]. Billions of baby chicks are macerated live because they are not commercially useful.

> Worldwide: As of 2015, approximately 7 billion male chicks were culled annually around the world

Hard disagree. Burning something alive in a slow and agonizing death for zero purpose other than cruelty is nowhere near the same thing as near instantaneously killing an animal for animal husbandry purposes.

Could we do better or have better practices? Sure. Is there an argument for not eating meat at all? Sure.

But if you were going to die you would have a lot bigger problem being slowly roasted alive versus instant brain destruction.

The life they give the chickens they don’t cull is almost certainly worse than death, at least in the typical factory farm.
