These Chicks Look Adorable, But There's A Cruel Practice Behind Their Colors

You've probably seen them before -- tiny chicks dyed bright pink and green to celebrate Easter.

And keeping in mind that they look valuable, the withering procedure is harmful, as well as totally savage. As per Don Anthony of the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida, creature rescuers everywhere throughout the nation are on high alarm amid the Easter season since such a large number of chicks are harmed...sometimes before they've brought forth.

The dye is either applied directly to the feathers or injected into the egg before it has hatched.

While many farmers have grown to reject the process over the years as dyed chicks have fallen out of fashion, some will still follow through with it if enough people ask.

The outcome may look cute and festive, but the process can be brutal to such tiny chicks. Don't believe me? Just check out the video below.
