The Defra-funded study, which involved 176 flocks (51,000 chickens)
belonging to five major chicken producers in the UK suggested that more than
a quarter of broiler chickens have difficulty walking due to the fast rate
at which they are grown. The study found that at about 40 days old 27.6%
exhibited "poor locomotion" and 3.3% could almost not walk at all.
The fact the animals that end up in our plates are so lame to the point that
cannot walk shows how little we think of them. In fact, to the meat
industry, God's animals are nothing but commodities that bring profit. It is
up to us, stewards of God's Creation, to take a stand for these creatures
and defend their God-given rights and instincts, by showing them compassion
and mercy.
