Millions of livestock die each year while being transported. Those cases are rarely investigated by the USDA.

Animal welfare advocates believe antiquated laws and truck driver exemptions lead to millions of farm animal deaths.

Well yeah, basically no one gives a quarter of a shit about animal welfare. Why would they investigate?
- Which makes it even more hilarious that there was an actual investigation or research to see the neglect and then ignore it after.
They don’t give a single fuck with chickens. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen chicken transportation trucks, but it’s literally just jammed full of chickens in tiny cages, 8-10 layers high, exposed to the elements. If you live close enough to commercial chicken farms you’ll see dead ones on the side of the road all the time where they’ve fallen off the truck and been run over.
