They're usually shredded alive almost immediately because they're seen as "waste" since they don't lay eggs

For some more context:

Roosters are very aggressive and territorial and wouldn't just chill with homies.

plus Cock Meat is an awkward marketing phrase for some.

My dad has had pet chickens for decades, and his roosters always chill. They're highly intelligent animals. If you give them lots of vegetation and space and provide for their basic needs and well-being, they don't really get too aggressive.

Yea see that's the problem right there. No of these companies provide any of that to their chickens.

It's not profitable to do so. Capitalism is relentless and soulless.

There's no way socialism would provide that either on the scale that the Western world consumes chickens. We should still go vegan in a socialist economy.

Oh I fully agree. Same in an anarchist community.
