Perdue Chicken

         Perdue is a major chicken processing company in Salusbury, Maryland, founded in 1920. It began  by selling baby chicks to farmers who then raised the chicks into broilers (chickens for eating). The author of  "Abusing Chickens We Eat" is Nicholas Kristof from the New York Times. Kristof reported that the Perdue Company was treated the chickens we eat inhumanely. Some of the facts Kristof reported were taken by filming the chickens in their habitat. The chickens did not have enough space to move around and breath in. Chickens can hardly walk because of how heavy their enlarged breast are. The chickens also did not have natural light.
