Reply to comment by ti-theleis in The agricultural research organization – Volcani Institute, is the first in the world to breed hens that lay eggs of female-only chicks, this achievement can spare the killing of billions of chicks around the world by winhumone
I get that too. But that's easily fixed by legislation.

It would be a bad use of resources. We shouldn't legislate to force agriculture to waste resources and raise poor quality meat chickens to sell expensively to consumers. It would be bad for everyone.

At this point you get to a matter of opinion/ethics. I personally think decreasing cruelty/waste of life is worth the cost in resources. You may think otherwise.

If people go vegan, this stops being an issue. Until then, we shouldn't over-regulate the industry because it will only create new problems.
No, I am not vegan, but I understand fully where my food comes from. We can try to be less cruel, but the meat industry is harsh by its very nature.
Have a good night.

I'm not someone who subscribes to the idea of 'over regulation'. Capable ministers should be able to form regulations that function smoothly.
People aren't going to go 100% vegan for a very long time, I don't think problems caused by 'over-regulation' is a reason to not try to stop baby chicks being thrown into macerators. To me personally, stopping that is more important than any 'new problems.' The world isn't black and white, and I'm very much against perfect being the enemy of good ('...the meat industry is harsh..."). Yes it is harsh, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't work to make it less so.
A good night to you too.
