The world's first no kill eggs have gone on sale in Berlin after German scientists discovered technology to determine an eggs gender prior to it being born. Using laser technology, scientists were able to determine different hormones in eggs to reveal the gender of an egg prior to it being born. As we all know, one of the most abhorrent parts of egg and chicken farming is the slaughter of millions of baby chicks that are born male.

Male chicks are born of no use to the industry because they grow to slowly to be sold for meat and don't produce eggs. These poor baby chicks are slaughtered either by suffocation or ground up alive to be used for reptile feed, both of which are disturbing and saddening. These poor babies are killed within hours of being born because they serve no purpose to a despicable industry. This new technology will prevent the needless slaughter of millions of babies who did nothing but be brought into this world. This is super exciting news.

There are many things wrong with chicken and egg farming. Hens crammed into crates with no room to move, living amongst their own filth with no medical treatment for injuries. However, as I mentioned, the grinding up of the baby boy chicks has been one of the most controversial and disturbing aspects of the industry. Witnessing these babies slide along a conveyor on their way to a grinder completely and innocently unaware of the fate they have been decided is a sight that leaves you with a sour taste for the industry.

The eggs are being sold now under the label of "Respeggt" in Berlin with intentions of all independent hatcheries using the technology by 2020. There are hopes that this technology will spread all across Europe alleviating the need for chick culling and abolishing one of the cruelest and most saddening aspects of egg farming. 

This is fabulous news and also demonstrates an acknowledgment that chick culling is recognized as cruel and disturbing. Here's to hoping this technology spreads like wildfire and eventually the world is utilizing this amazing technology. What do you guys think?
