I understand on an island feral chickens can survive but consider this... in the real world hundreds of millions of chickens would die if we let them all be free and Africa relies on livestock to survive so let's starve them as well?? If you feel as though meat is bad then grow your own garden and live strictly on what you grow🤔 I treat the animals that take care of me like they deserve... I know they produce food when seasons don't allow growth of plants!! So I'll stick to keeping my options open and growing my own food instead of buying food that I'm not sure of where it came from🤔 But hell if we all grew our own food this wouldn't even be a discussion😉 I was only talking about eggs not killing chickens... when a chicken provides 300 eggs a year and they can only sit on 12-15 for 21 days to hatch them you can bet all wildlife around them eats those extra eggs
