poor chickens, they going to die for nothing.

They'll also likely be killed especially brutally. Likely either: ventilation shutdown, foam depopulation or whole house gasing/containerized gassing

That is brutal and corporate. So excited when ET finally gets here and see's our efficient ways of killing en masse. We got some shit to teach the galaxy.

From the chicken's perspective it doesn't matter. "Died for nothing" is just cope for humans.

Doesn’t the US have enough chickens to not bother importing?
