12): While this is a step in the right direction toward reducing the animal abuse inherent in all factory farming (from the chicken’s point of view), it’s still a long way from what nature intended. Though chickens can live for 5 to 11 years, after two years, they are hauled away to slaughter just like battery-caged hens.
