“47 days: average slaughter age of broiler chickens in the United States. In the European Union it is 42 days. Depending on the breed, the natural lifespan of a chicken is up to 11 years.”

“When we see animals in such vast numbers, their individuality is erased and our compassion is exhausted. I train my camera on this expanse of death and remember why there is no data on the marine animals we consume each year; we measure their deaths not individually but by the tonne.”

Interesting! Are there any insights you would like to share? I just finished Hidden: Animals in the Anthropocene, and while not a light/fun read, I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning about the commodification of non-human animals around the world.
On a side note, the author recommends sharing the book as widely as possible, but this tome is massive and quite heavy, so sharing/lending/gifting isn't really an option, IMO. I wish there was an e-book version.
Nothing too unusual no although I did get that book in coffee table style and have used it when doing vegan outreach tabling.
