A Delaware animal shelter is working to find new homes for thousands of chicks that were left abandoned in a U.S. Postal Service truck for three days.

Delaware’s Department of Agriculture said it received a call earlier this month from USPS saying the Postal Service had an “undeliverable box of baby birds.” About 12,000 chicks had been shipped from the Pennsylvania-based Freedom Ranger Hatchery to farms across the country.

State agricultural officials say that when they found the chicks at a USPS distribution center in Delaware, around 4,000 were dead.

    If humans had masters and they forced us to use condoms to prevent more of us, I’m pretty sure this checks out some definition of genocide

    EDIT: Russia fully takes over Ukraine and implements a law where you can no longer make children. Is this a genocide?

      That is not analogous to the situation. Instead russia would not force the Ukrainians to produce children. Is that genocide?

        But guy above quite clearly implied ban under vegan world, not natural cycle where farming will become obsolete.

        Your example is closer to what I said we should do.
