What Happens to Baby Male Chicks?

U baby male chicks have no value to the egg industry, because obviously they can't become laying hens. They are thrown into a grinder where they're just cut up alive and die. The laying hens that are kept alive are given an even worse deal. Most of them are so stressed that they actually lose all their feathers. So it's really just herrific. I mean, numbers that large, you can't even lhike. There's no context for that. It just sounds real big.
