Ethiopian poultry farmers have slaughtered hundreds of thousands of chicks, as the sector reels from a collapse in demand from the hotel sector because of the COVID-19 pandemic

Ethiopia’s movement restrictions to try to contain the novel coronavirus, which causes COVID-19, has led hotels in Addis Ababa to reduce operations or even to close, removing a major source of demand for poultry products.

“We also had to actually pull some eggs from our hatchery, so that we could destroy them as eggs instead of chicks,” Fseha Tesfu, in charge of marketing at EthioChicken, told Reuters. “This sector used to employ a vast group of society in different regions of the country, whether it is the youth or women, in all sorts of age groups,” Meba Gabriel Estifanos, a veterinarian, who also owns a small farm in Addis Ababa, said.

This is heartbreaking.

Animal Cruelty Charges need to be brought forthwith against these spineless cowards that these farmers are.
