Fast-food chain Chick-fil-A has sparked a social media backlash after announcing that it will soon allow certain antibiotics in the chickens it raises, citing supply issues.
Chick-fil-A restaurants in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico will transition “from chicken raised with No Antibiotics Ever (NAE) to chicken raised with No Antibiotics Important to Human Medicine (NAIHM), starting in the spring of 2024,” the company said in a statement posted on its website this week.
Humans are clearly on a different territory from factory born animals for slaughter.
Again, antibiotics do not change their lived experience because they get no changes in conditions in return. Antibiotics are just for human profit
I’m afraid your sarcasm and irony were unclear despite the words used. But please correct that or me.
If you think antibiotics are to reduce animal suffering you’re deluded. It’s only to not let them die at inopportune times for the profit machine. The animals in factory farms are already experiencing suffering being belief and an early death is an escape.
I am not a proponent of routine antibiotic use in any animals (including us humans), unless it’s called for as in actually saving someone’s life.
I was caught at one of these moments where I wasn’t sure whether it was sincerely meant or humour, and tried to be mildly sarcastic about it.
Edit: Double checked. Thumbs up now.
