Thanks for making this kind of information available to a wide audience. The animal agriculture industry is truly one of the most abhorrent realities of our society today.
Remember though that whether free range or not, chickens are obtained from hatcheries. They separate male chicks from female ones, and since male chicks are of no use to them they kill them in one of 3 ways. - grinding them alive (most common) - putting them in a plastic bag and throwing it away. - gassing them
Their meat sometimes goes to waste and sometimes will be used in pet food.
The only way to truly live compassionately is to not consume any animal product. It sounds hard if not impossible at first, but after a few weeks it becomes the most normal thing in the world, and you'll sleep with your conscience clear that no exploitation of innocent lives is being caused under your name.
