“Do you tell your children what happens to the male chicks in the egg industry? If you do, and you’re OK with it, then there is something out of whack with your moral compass, as indoctrinating your children to support such cruelty is very wrong. This is actually a form of child abuse, and it is time for you to stop inflicting such cruel beliefs upon your kids … On the other hand, if you (quite correctly) don’t tell your children that male chicks are either suffocated or ground up alive immediately after they hatch, then there is a reason you are (appropriately) sheltering this truth from your child. That reason is because your children still have deep emotional responses to oppression and cruelty. They would be rightfully very upset to learn this truth, and we as good parents try to protect them from all such trauma.
