Summary:

Green MP Sue Kedgley and SPCA Animal Welfare Officer Hans Kriek discuss maceration or ‘instantaneous fragmentation’ with Paul Holmes where one-day-old chicks are minced alive. This is how the poultry industry kills over two and a half million male chicks each year. Kedgley and Kriek believe this is method appalling, cruel and unethical.
