for being: too big, too rowdy, too loud, too expensive, not cute anymore, "got tired of it," landlord issues, can't afford medical care, "kids didn't take care of it like they said they would", etc, etc.

And we slaughter 59 billion chickens a year who have never lived in anything not resembling a giant indoor urinal (google "hock burns&quot .

Lot's of animal welfare issues to work on RIGHT HERE.
