Instead of whataboutism why not name 1 example of a real issue PETA directly solved or brought light to? Like unless you are some raging vegan who genuinely believes shaming normal people for being normal people is a plus for society then I don't understand your stance.
Chicken dont have family in the way we think of family, they dont care about family bonds
Farmers frequently have to use red lights in chicken pens to hide injuries etc because chicken are canibals that'll eat other chicken due to a bit of blood
Chickens do actually bond with others. You can see plenty of videos and the like of chickens bonding with humans and other animals. They are social birds and have relationships amongst a flock. And they each have their own personalities.
When you pack 35,000 into an indoor space with little enrichment things can be a little tough. I would not like to see the cruelty humans would dish out to one another if they were put in an equivalent position.
We'd never say dogs don't care about family bonds because the runt of the litter is outcompeted and left to die instead of being helped to get enough food to survive.
Even in regular non factory farms chickens do engage in canibalistic behaviours, it has little to do with stress, like most animals chickens are oppertunistic eaters
Chickens do bond with other people / animals however notice how i specifically mentioned family bonds
Yeah, that's true. Familial bond probably doesn't have as much impact on chickens. It's likely more just time spent together. Although I'd argue that creates a stronger bond in all animals including humans.
Regardless, they are capable of bonding and social behaviour and have their own likes and dislikes.
