I saw that. Tbh, I'm all about capitalism. It costs about $100 in feed to take a poult to age 2.
What makes me sick are the poor conditions the toms were raised in prior to being turned loose in the shooting pen. Look at their plumage, just terrible.
The other thing that pisses me off is throwing 2 males in the shooting pen together that haven't been together before to set the pecking order. Sure, it's only for an hour before they are shot, but when you do that, the two of them are going to fight until one gets killed or is beaten so badly it will die from disease or its wounds.
I'm not a softie, I really do believe God put animals on earth for us to care for and use... but at the same time it makes me sick the lack of care those birds had while he was raising them.
