Well, not killing the egg, but killing the developing chick inside the egg.
But you're right, it's just killing the chick earlier in its lifecycle, before it hatches. Analogous to aborting a human while in the womb, versus killing it shortly after birth.
- slfnflctd 6y agoIf you're going to split hairs on ethics, the real question is how much pain/suffering is involved. From what I've read, most scientists agree the neurological wiring to feel pain is not in place until past the point when nearly all abortions occur. If this was also true for the developing male chicks, I would certainly prefer that outcome.
