And every hour of every day I'm learning more
The more I learn, the less I know about before
The less I know, the more I want to look around
Digging deep for clues on higher ground

A typical broiler chicken spends his life in a windowless shed with thousands of other birds. Today's chickens are slaughtered when their eyes are still blue and they 'cheep' - chicks in an obese adult body. In
natural conditions, birds of this age would still be sheltering under their mothers' wings. Decades of selective breeding has resulted in this forced
growth rate, producing faster growing chickens for greater profits with no regard for animal welfare. Many broilers can no longer support their own body weight and most suffer from leg disorders. The crippled birds die from starvation and dehydration as they are unable to reach food and water points. Millions suffer from diseases brought on by the squalid conditions inside the factory farms.
