Hook: Chicken Farming: a topic that seems funny at first, but how funny is it really?
Bridge: Chicken farming , a topic seems to get almost no attention, is a very gruesome and cruel practice. For example, in an article exploiting this business it states “Most egg-laying hens spend their lives crammed in spaces so tiny they cannot turn around or spread their wings.
