Good question :)

  1. Most people imagine only female chickens which means the male chicks are killed soon after birth which is unethical

  2. Chickens eat their non fertilized eggs to recoup the nutrients it takes to lay them so stealing them has negative consequences for their health (eg fragile bones) causing which is unethical

  3. The idea itself that you can take something from someone else just because you are stronger or smarter and they can’t stop you is the mindset of an oppressor or a bully and is inherently unethical

    1. Is easily fixed by just not killing the male chickens
    2. Is easily fixed by giving your chickens nutritionally balanced food

    1. has nothing to do with the ethics of killing
    2. again, the same (especially if they are kept in good nutrition, shells returned, etc.)
    3. they aren't a person, and that would make all of nature existing unethical

    are you a person? ethics and morality are human concepts..

    arguing that eating meat isn't unethical because it happens in "nature" is like arguing you should be allowed to rape people because ducks do it...
