This is the best summary I could come up with:
Next week, Netflix is releasing a sequel — Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget — with the same theme but updated to reflect our increasingly dystopian animal farming system.
It occasionally illustrated some standard forms of animal cruelty — like keeping egg-laying hens in tiny cages — in a way that is sad but not graphic.
But kids had a very different reaction to the book, Roth said, proposing practical solutions like buying leather-free shoes or changing what they eat, and wildly imaginative ones, like “flying over the nation and rescuing all the animals.”
In reality, 99 percent of the 9.7 billion land animals raised for food in the US every year live in brutish conditions on factory farms, where they’re mutilated without pain relief, crammed together in warehouses, and forced to wallow in their own waste.
Many are drugged up on antibiotics to survive these conditions, and they’ve been bred to grow bigger, faster, and pump out more eggs and milk, all to the detriment of their welfare.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that consumers so easily fall for meat industry advertising that makes farms look like the version they internalized from children’s literature.
