Factory farms often employ a process called debeaking to reduce deaths of chickens. You see, when chickens are kept in cramped enough conditions, they start pecking each other to death from the stress. Debeaking prevents stress-motivated murder. The stress is still there, the chickens still hurt so bad they want to kill each other, they just can’t because they don’t have a beak anymore.
