I could just see it as a PSA spot, with Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child playing over it. I can't believe all those people OOOing and AHHHing over it.
I don't know. I don't usually follow that community, just poke my head in from time to time. Usually because the pics are so sweet, but this one made me want to cry. How can people not see how cruel that is?
I don't think they understand how awful it is that this little baby is born lying on a frigging wire mesh floor instead of in a soft nest of straw that its mother has lined with her own feathers. I grew up spending a lot of time on a real farm, where animals were treated like God's creatures. They're just seeing a baby chicken, and arguing about what it should be called and don't even think about the shame of the way these creatures are treated. It's sad all right. It's disgusting. .
Yes, EXACTLY. I wonder what all those people would say if shown a picture of a newborn human, still covered with goo from the process, lying all alone on a mesh floor?
Oh, looka the cute widdle baby! Forgive me for the way I am today, but I'm feeling a lot of discouragement about the world, the human race, and my beliefs, and this stuff just makes me mad and it hurts,

Really fucking sad.
