This time one of vegans decided to teach us all about eggs, honey and bees.
Apparently bees are “imprisoned” and pollination is not comparable to keeping bees 😂
You have to imprison and exploit chickens and bees for those 2 things. Pollination is no way comparable.
Bees, I’m with you. Bee keeping is not inhumane to the bees. It is worth mentioning that kept bees are usually not the same native pollinator species, but there’s nothing horrific about harvesting honey.
Factory egg farming is a horror show, especially in the USA. I agree that domesticated chickens shouldn’t be set free to repopulate the grasslands, but neither should they be tortured for their eggs. Most people picture a red bard and an old lady in a sunhat collecting eggs from a straw bed where her chicken lays.
Here’s a video tour of what it actually looks like.

This was produced by the farm to show how humanely they produce their eggs, and that’s as good as they can possibly make it look. Notice the “cage free” chicken environment, where even the vet they hired and the owner narrating mention the bird-on-bird violence that is worse among the cage-free birds.
I’m not even going to link the videos they don’t want you to watch.

I don’t know about USA. I have seen free range chicken farms in Europe and there was nothing “horror” about them - but than animal welfare standards are much higher in Europe than in the US in general.
During sex determination, male chicks are thrown into an industrial blender.
And we’ve genetically modified chickens to lay eggs at a rate which regularly cause them inflammation so severe they end up getting fevers and dying.
Sounds like a horror show to me.
Sounds like a good source of tasty eggs to me. In fact I may have some fried eggs with bacon this morning - would you like to share your thoughts about pig farming as well?
Not even close, more like this if anything:

So, are you going to share your thoughts about pigs and bacon? You may feature in the next edition of “Vegan said WHAT?!”
Not really, I prefer not to engage with antagonists. Besides, it’s not like you’re going to change your mind, that much is clear.
Shame. Please feel free to pop by next time when you feel like sharing.
