Germany hopes new technology will stop the slaughter of male chicks

In 2016, the German parliament voted against a Green Party bill calling for a ban on the killing of chicks as lawmakers decided the economy would suffer if industrial hatcheries simply packed up and moved to another country.

The industrial-scale killing of new-born male chickens in Germany could soon be banned following a court case. A lawyer for the German Animal Welfare Federation, Martin Wilmsen, told CNBC Tuesday that the case should set a legal benchmark by spelling out that killing male chicks is in contravention to the country's animal welfare act.

6 billion killed each year globally. ☹️ Didn’t know this happened. Hopefully new tech will avoid the practice.
