Samantha Ronson Points Out How Odd It Is That We Care More About Chickens Than Humans
Okay, so, my friend Trish keeps talking about this book called Skinny Bitch, basically about how you have to be all vegan and shit to truly be healthy, and she’s like, “Listen, Beet, I don’t think you should read it unless you’re ready to be vegan. It’s the kind of thing you can’t unread.” And I went a few months without reading it, but then last night I gave in and bought it and I’m about halfway through, and I think I have to be vegan now. The poor animals! It’s SO AWFUL how they’re treated — I just can’t be part of anything that encourages that industry. I just think of anyone doing that to Leo or the kitties and it makes me so angry! And Californians seem to understand those horrors — they passed an animal-rights initiative on Tuesday, while revoking the rights of gay couples to marry.
Samantha Ronson sums it up nicely on :
2 steps forward….. 2 steps back
i guess people care more about farm animals than they do their fellow man, that’s really sad to me.
yes, i am glad that the chickens will have more room and better conditions as they wait to die, but i just think it’s frightening that people show more compassion for tomorrow’s dinner than for the chef.
yup, miss piggy and chicken little may rest easy, but gay people in florida and california can no longer get married and gay couples in arkansas can’t adopt children. g-d forbid a loving family (regardless of sexual orientation) give a needy child a home! there aren’t children out there in dire need of love and shelter, no this country is thriving and no child is in need.
oh well, i guess one out of four ain’t bad!
You tell ’em, Sam!

Quantity - you must order a certain number of chicks. Typically hatcheries
will require you buy a minimum of 25 chicks at a time. The number is
necessary for the chicks survival during shipping. All 25 chicks are put
in one small box without heat. They are crowded in the box and produce
enough body heat to arrive in good shape. * The wait - If you choose to
buy chicks from a feed store you will have them the same day but if you
choose to go with a hatchery you have to wait until they are ready to ship
and then wait for the chicks to arrive. Ordering baby chicks online in
Friend Nebraska is easy and has always been a very pleasant
experience of me. It can be a little frustrating waiting for the chicks
but it's so worth the wait. When the post office calls and you hear all
those little "cheeps" or "chirps" in the background you'll know the wait
was worth it! How to Care for your new baby chickens in Friend,
Nebraska Baby chicks are very
adorable and
difficult to stand up to,
yet it's finest to prepare for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare first
by collecting not only the
correct materials, however
additionally the proper
understanding to look after
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
simple, you simply need
to supply them with the following: A tidy and also cozy
habitat Lots of food and also water Interest as well as
love Environment Your habitat can be an easy box, fish tank,
pet cat provider, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and
coverings (with no loose
strings!) to begin, as well as after a few weeks utilize straw over paper.
Note: Avoid using only
paper or various other slipper
surface areas-- or your chicks legs could grow
malformed. You likewise need
something to serve up food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
recipe from the feed store, or a pickle container
cover for food and also an animal bird water dispenser from a
pet dog store. Also, as the chicks get
older you can present a perch
right into the environment to obtain them
educated on perching. Warmth To
keep your chicks heat you need to
supply them with a warmth source.
This could be as simple as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design lamp from an equipment shop, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb additionally work very
well (my
recommendation). Chicks need this
heat 24/7 till their downy fluff is
changed with feathers (which could take up to two months). The recently
hatched out need a temperature
in between 90 and also 100 degrees,
and weekly this can
be minimized by
around 5 levels or
so. The warmth resource need to get on merely one side of the cage
to permit chicks a range of
temperature levels. The chicks are your finest
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
opposite corner of your heat
light, you should
minimize the temperature. If
they are surrounding each other under the
heat (not merely snuggling),
you should include some warmth.
Home cleaning
Tidiness is vital and it maintains your chicks healthy. Be sure to transform
the bedding
usually and
consistently give clean
food and also water Food as well as water.
Chicks expand quite quickly
which requires plenty of clean
food as well as water. Provide
enough in any way times and also check
usually to
stop thirsty and
hungry chicks. Chick food is various than grown-up chicken food, as well as it comes
in both medicated and non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
initial 2 months, then
switch over to a raiser food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for an additional 2 months,
and after that to a slightly
lower healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks prefer to obtain a head start on taking
filth baths, while others will not use up that task till they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
room, introduce a tray of sand or
dirt for them to wash in.
Attention and love There are a couple of advantages to spending time with your chicks. To start
with, they will most
likely bond with you and
not escape as adults. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily as well as
see their habits, you can
catch disease or various
other issues previously. Watch out for hissing, limping, or
various other harmful
indications. Be sure to
likewise check out
their poop, as diarrhea could result in matted feathers and also blocked cloaca.
Finally, it is essential to watch out for social problems, such as the
smallest chick getting picked
on. Empty nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently totally feathered
as well as its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your house
as well as relocate outside right into a
coop. Have a look at our
part on chicken cages to learn more
regarding cages and
proper coop environments.
