A shocking new
animated graph created by Counting Animals illustrates the unnatural rate at which chickens grow on today’s factory
farms.
Back in 1920, a chicken raised on a farm was slaughtered at 112 days. At that
time, a chicken weighed about 2.2 pounds. Flash forward almost 100 years to
2013. Today, chickens are slaughtered at just 47 days and weigh a whopping 5.89
pounds–over six times their natural weight. Just picture the human equivalent:
a child raised to weigh 500 pounds by age 10!
