Ban the culling of male chicks

What the petition asks
I want animals to have rights, it is disgusting how male chicks are treated. They should not be killed, often by being thrown into a grinder alive, after birth. It’s is barbaric. I want the Government to ban culling of male chicks immediately after birth.
The government has a responsibility to all living beings not just humans. The way animals are treated especially ones for people to eat is abusive and if it was humans you would call it torture and murder.
