the, the us presidential election print to watch the whole coverage on the for 2 years, many a curtains in germany have been marked with labels that say no mail checks, colt sounds good, right before mail checks would be shredded, since they serve no purpose in egg production. so called brother roosters of commercially bred hens cancel a x. their meat isn't popular with consumers either. i know no one wants the rooster on 5 these with this read line that's just not possible to raise the brother cock, essentially. but they still germany's former agriculture minister, really looking at legally banded chick calling vege fights and 50 globally were the

1st to legally in this practice, that's who signs unacceptable to kill animals immediately after hatching. just because they are of a certain 6. this is a milestone for animal welfare that's because that that law was just made for the media on millions of male checks are still being hatched in germany. the law injures animal rights activists. god, it's basically really a hellish solution would need anyone buying anything should really think twice before falling for this p r. trek line. find mixed boss the customer. what's happened to the millions of male checks? born in germany, since the law took effect in 2022 and this increased our search for them takes us from germany to poland. to gone us is phonetics that i'm alexa from from i'm following the mail chicks ridge. my number's, my name's fit into the bins. i'm doing the background research. is this lot of

breakthrough for animal welfare, or is it just making things worse? the germans loved their eggs, eating around $230.00 per person every year. that's around 20000000000 eggs annually . these eggs come from a chicken breed use especially for mass production. now, egg cartons that promise, no chip calling with brother, rooster rearing, suggest that these chickens are living a good life. our research begins where commercially bread chickens are born in a hatchery. i'm on my way to the village of sending in the german state of north rhine westphalia for cod bring shorter runs this patrick he and his colleague claudia qu not show me around. the main business here is incubating and rearing

laying hands. these incubators can hold more than 300000 acts. of course it's not just hands that have here. um, a file from experience there, 50 percent female, 50 percent, male. sticking name on them. there are other ones which don't hatch either because the eggs unfertilized or they just don't make it. before the law came into effect, male checks would be a nest of times and killed after hatching. now they're allowed to live, but how trees still only profit from their hands? bombs, wires the roosters profitable for you and on on. so basically there are new buyers for these brother roosters lines. there's relatively little meat on the t v and he's a flash on that. that's exactly our biological di. lemme them on this and there are new customers. no one wants to buy these roosters on um, after 40 days of fat and,

and weighs about $2.00 kilos. it takes brewster's more than $150.00 days to reach anywhere close to that weight. meanwhile, in the hatchery, i'm finding out how soon chick life begins in the attic. that's even on money now. and then you'll see a heart be taking the from the, from these neural pathways you can tell who the bodies lying below and the air sacked up here. that's a little closet. you can see all the movements. oh yes, literally. there's life in here. he hasn't even been 2 years ago if this egg contained a meal cheque, he would have been killed at birth. the practice of calling male checks had long been condemned by animal rights activists. in 2013 the denounced branch filters hatchery to make an example of the whole industry. in 2016, the company was indicted, but the case was dismissed because chick calling wasn't expressly forbidden under german law. however,

the court clearly stated that law makers could make calling chicks a punishable offense. and in 2022 they did. wonderful. it's a milestone for animal welfare. now, german farmers have the following options. option one raised the brother, roosters and sell their meat auction to use breeds of chickens. secondly, eggs and produce better meat. option 3 sort out meal checks by the 13th day. thank you. patients before they have the draft law was introduced in the late summer of 2020 and took effect at the start of 2022. not all hatcheries need the transition in time. in north members on bottom, the north ryan with cecilia. we were one of 13 hatcheries, isn't working on so slow today. there's just 2 of us, the slides, laundry, germany, white for me. there were $25.00 at one point from that. there was only 5 of us and each, and we're not very happy. how often is to florida that low was just made for the media? no, for the median gemacht on. the critics were pacified at 1st. when animal rights

activist took legal action against bring showed us how to read it, push the government to act, but at great cost. my come to that was a lose lose situation because there was nothing to be one or the end. typical side can try empathy to working, solution lose on and a half a tree like this meal checks hatch one after the other. but where are they supposed to go? now the 2nd one is trying to know kind of a child's going from me. i'm up there in the hatching phase now. or what day are we on now? the 20th incubation day, the female checks are raised here to become laying hands or later sold to other firms as young hands to become a this little guy. lucy, on the 1st thing. as long as it's there aren't many yet. then he'll be back as needed and fastened delta columbia. and i must started the fattening and the

slaughtering usually don't take place in germany, but rather in neighboring poland. the slightest bit lessons wondering happens most exclusively in poland. these it costs more to slots. are the birds in germany, and so they just can't compete kind of out just a lot of i know we've heard that most of the male chicks go abroad to poland in particular. so we're going to take a closer look. that's cool view. and since i'm working on the law was created to improve animal welfare. but now these meal chicks are being transported over great distances. i want to find out what happens to them after that a between the do you have any help in these work hold pretty short to have hired to raise the meal checks wouldn't respond to us and gave no indication as to where there reared people the hand of team where do other german hatcheries send their mail checks? i do some research writing associations in poultry farms,

yet no one will provide any concrete info. so i turned to animal rights activists. early on mini suspected the anti chicks reading lot would only make matters worse. they shot videos showing how these roosters really live. to me this isn't the ethical rooster rearing those a cartons promise. since the last book effect the animal rights activists give me a list of farms which we're brother rooster's. i for the list to alexa i set out for paul and to see for myself what the conditions are like for the roosters living. their journalist machine crescent, alaska has agreed to help me with my research here. he's been working on animal husbandry in poland for years and has uncovered some shocking cases. i run, you know,

various investigations on different subjects. and this is the most difficult one, i guess, in germany, it was a big subject to save those metrics. but then in poland there is no information. he's investigated, businesses all over, pull it on our behalf. i told the number of congress to deserves any more. so the fucking tricky because the invitation and i asked the question and then the guy said, i don't know, i ask another question and he just disconnected in half of my sentence, which is quite like strange. why is there so little info about what's happening to the brother roosters? if it's all legal, what are these companies got to hide? come to the overhead when team a 1000000 mail checks have been brought here to pull it up. but here, no one seems to know what's happened to them. apparently they've vanished without a trace, but that can be,

so we're going to search for them. let's see if we can find out more by going there are. so i'm, i'm trying to perform. i'd like to model them we had for places on the list given to us by animal rights activist. our 1st destination is just south of roll sauce. a slaughterhouse for boiling foul is said to be located here, and we want to have a look around. the brother roosters are much too small to be slaughtered and conventional add a twice, but slaughterhouses for boiling file are designed to handle smaller birds. so there's a good chance the german roosters are being slaughtered here. we ask around, but no one's willing to speak with us, so the director has no interest in this kind of interview. he doesn't want to speak to you so we can talk with anyone. no. but we keep going to make our way to a large farm which appears to have a lot of groups the

yeah, very hello . is there someone we can speak to based on this? go round to the other side of the building. oh, thank you something that we finally got to lead in 2 days time. 20000 to mail checks are scheduled to arrive from germany. the owner is even willing to let us film inside, provided we don't show his face. at 1st, most animal rights activists were happy that chick calling was banned in germany. now they're just shaking their heads. 3 petition meeting from animal rights organization local tissues heavily criticized as how the law has been implemented. do that, it's on pet talking to anyone who holds an ed kardon like this in their hands. things, hey, i'm doing something good and at least these animals can live

a decent life. it needs to know that these birds will wind up in a factory file and die in poland or another foreign country i go. so anyone buying these ag should really think twice before falling for this cheap brother, rooster p. r tracking to optic, the blind fight in which the image she thinks it was wrong, that male chicks used to be killed just after they hatched. but a law that forbids their slaughter while condemning them to afford living conditions isn't much of an improvement. these exhibiting equally, the animals barely turn a profit, so they stuff hauls all of them to get something out of it in the end and of all the way the result is all you do is bunyan by and infected open wounds on the feet and excruciating pain. any tech click the snap. so is the new loss failure as it is because that's the thing the height of the law was. let's put a lid on the chicks. reading problem will be a magic, but even back then i knew it wouldn't work. um, they weren't thinking about the animals that and in the end, consumers in

a supermarket are left with a bunch of meaningless labels and empty promises and the problem up, i don't understand yet. so the law was supposed to do the exact opposite back in poland. this group is still empty, but 2 days from now, 20000 to mail checks from germany will be arriving. okay, lots of rules about how many checks will fit in here. if the guy to $30000.00 has told me they should be able to find a free tube, and that's where the chicks guys picking up to like a broker $5.00 of yes i do. it all comes point. so you arrange replaces all of her hold onto how many checks have you placed in below. no doing. thank this 60000000 but the brother roosters won't stay here for long history or 400000 or 12 weeks.

they go to the slaughterhouse where they wind up and su 4 pads a or, and they're exported. they would want export to it for to few many go to africa. okay, so we're now talking about the price. that's not, i don't know, that's a note to me. come to me when we come tonight. so i ask for kind of all places. right. i don't know. they won't say me. so in this group the conditions look quite good right now. so we're a male chick winds up is largely a matter of luck. since it took effect and the lobby, protecting the wellbeing of all chicks and brother, roosters europe wide agriculture, including the poultry industry, receives about $50000000000.00 euros and ease subsidies every year. but the market for brother roosters is quite small in selling their meat because unprofitable, especially in germany, europe subsidy system have to knock on effect some other countries like donna.

let's take a closer look. i travel to the city of commodity and gone to my 1st stop. the market. poetry is popular here, especially important chickens. that's because imported poultry meat brought to gonna is cheaper the oven. ready chickens sold by local farms, costs the equivalent of 4 years. important chicken costs half that much. local farmers can't compete on price. so most consumers buy the imported meat. i mainly eat imported chicken because the meat from local farms is too expensive. and imported chickens are very plump and have a lot of meat. that's good. the local chickens are much smaller in price here by prof. are important to me because it can feed the whole family. so i can see the movie for us. does anybody time 45 hours by

car from kumasi live support of across the canadian capital is the important needs . first point of arrival. many here are involved and it straight. i like to reconnect my name is let me look for more than a decade. philomena or 2 has been buying and selling imported poultry. it's stored here on this. she receives $20.00 to $30.00 containers of imported chicken per month. and read us a check and confirm this call from us for a land lease time uh and touch the other places in the supply chain often starts in europe too. okay. that's offensive because i live, okay. all this me, it had its origins in germany and then went to poland and now has wound up here and

gone out of you won't find whole frozen birds in this cold for just chicken parts. philomena o 2 says in ports have increased in recent years. from now to can business owners become the most efficient has become really more engulfed, both prefer, like buying so we would buy more. you and what's more done because all of y moving themselves in the business. the imported chicken makes a tough for local sellers to survive on the domestic market. christy, on a bow, a, feels the effects of this practice. she operates a chicken farm with her family. she says there was lots of activity here years ago . now only a few who are at full capacity. she takes me into one. yeah, it's the ones. how is the last name was imported? meat is under cutting. her business needs to me either like forming me

and then i can at least it is money because of the price you see on the phone she sells her chickens for around 4 year owes a piece that's almost twice as much as the poultry gone to imports. from abroad and how it's expensive, just fat and animals, we can keep up with the price of important chicken means that the farms and gone are collapsing because of the chicken imports. we make almost no profit most until a few years ago this firm employed many people. now there's not much work to be done. and over the years, she's had to lay off more and more workers. and her last time were in here for a chicken. and for 3 years, 3 years it's not easy for christiana gabriel and her family. of course you have is farming is how we are the money. so we're trying to keep our

find a lot of cool apps. and i used to have it because if it doesn't survive, i don't have any other options. the, me, a black at 1st glance, canadian consumers seem to benefit from the cheap imports. but they're preventing gunners, poultry production from becoming self sufficient. plus it's not sustainable to ship, need thousands of kilometers. to recap, german log band chip calling in 2022. now the labels on egg cartons lead consumers to believe that mail chicks will lead good lives. one of the solutions proposed by the law involved raising and selling the birds one of the few farms doing just that is in golf and north ryan was fairly a $6000.00 female checks and $1000.00 males are being delivered to this organic

farm. something good, so after about 80 of them. yeah. good. they have to do yesterday. the hens were brown and the roosters are whitehall and she's in cooking for the hanging of invites. these roosters are supposed to have a good life right from the start. the one looks like he's going his own way. who's who and where do you think you're going them and that's where i live experiencing. this gives you respect for living creatures and it doesn't make sense to say it's here now better kill it as easy sounds as i'm kind of safe after. but with this breed line, it's just not possible to raise the brother car extensively with a 104. also see. ready still he rears them while. ringback going yeah, mazda more so here we have our brother rooster's farms transformed. they were put into a normal group, a free ring group on, and then 2 or 3 weeks ago,

they came over here. and so i have one here who wants to come on to you. i'm the young here. they can range freely. oh, there's feed and water in the cool. it's on russell outside. there's no extra fee to put up by raising the brother roosters. he's doing what the law makers intended, but that's not competitive in the long run. modern wishes consumer attitudes would change so that small firms like his didn't sell their eggs and chickens at a loss. ringback the politicians other suggestion is to pre dual purpose chickens. this type of chicken lays fewer ex what can also be used for me production. but that's not profitable for farmers like hands, bowden. so he's pleading for government subsidies. ready less than what's your wish for the future? yeah, this is done to get some support from the politicians. kick it off for me. i remember i said can be that we're leading away and then the some point we're forced to throw in the towel. he's english taking this and it was the politicians idea and

so they need to take responsibility for it and not leave us in the lurch. these times take the rest of the time to hear from the politicians. germany's ministry of food and agriculture is currently headed by chance of the mirror from the greens scheduling issues meant we couldn't speak with him in person. so we put our questions in writing. we ask, what do you think of the fact checks are being taken abroad? where they're fattened and slaughtered under awful conditions. does that comply with animal welfare? a ministry spokesman responded. the german government has no knowledge as to whether brother, roosters from german hatcheries are being raised, slaughtered and sold under questionable conditions abroad. he wouldn't be more specific than that. what does the ministry think about rooster meat being exported to africa? we didn't receive an answer. the agriculture ministry is allocating funds for dual

purpose chickens and in over fixing which can determine a chick fix before hatching. in although sexing makes it possible to stump the incubation of male chick embryos, so the brother roosters don't hatch at all. since hatcheries are increasingly dependent on in ovo sexing, it's expected that the number of brother roosters will continue to decline. that way. mal checks are already sorted out, as embryos. that's possible until the 13th day. thank you. patients can to that could not be the solution. at the only university of applied sciences they're trying to use in over sex. and even earlier researcher young's 1000 deal shows me a method they're working on. the often does via on his head. and we hope to develop a device which will enable us to cheaply identify the sex on the 3rd day of

incubation. how to pick 10 can then whether the sensation of pain really develops on the 7th or 13th day, isn't even up for discussion to discuss. you want states our examination method, let's the cold take place before that. and so animal suffering has reduced it to a minimum increased medium in this device, collects gender specific data from the incubated ex hormones. proteins and other data get measured after making a small hole in the actual ground. that seems always made of pulling it to get to the membrane. come me can. all right, because we expect to find far more hormones to measure in the membrane and then on the actual out of the ice. charlotte, afterwards, a laser beam of a specific wavelength will be shown into the hole that stimulates the molecules in the ex outer show membrane, causing them to admit a distinctive form of radiation which differs according to the embryos sex, a lindsey funds here you can already see the measurements signals arriving in the county and registered by the detector. it seems as i'd like to count the firm to

take the off and on them. then, with the help of an algorithm, it determines whether the check is male or female. this method is only worth it for mass egg production in large companies, though the often to teach us with naturally, we hope that when it's fully developed to the industry will recognize that it no longer has to go to great lengths to get around to the german loan of the torture, cuz that's people. the german government has allocated over 8000000 euro is to fund research of an over sex and methods. but this technology is still being developed the, all the alternatives to chicks reading are either not market ready or not economical. so it makes no difference if the a curtain says no meal checks cold. the only purpose that serves as to suit guilty

conscience is because germany's anti check calling lot is well intentioned. the poorly executed the or the,

into the conflicts own. among the many was around the world, the comes victims through don is distinguished by 11, a savage or a by just in brussels, is for my private as to who heads and coalition political. some civil society groups are trying to bring people trying and failing. what would it take to steps the blood shed, and usually 5 shots of the country conflict in 30 minutes. oh d, w, the

in the days is featuring to need to have a whole list stick approach to migration policy. rooted in that respect for human rights. our investigative research shows the realities behind the use refugee, the, the desert guns would not take place without funding for them to you. it's determined by this is happening to migrate on the african continent. those people in the, there's lots of you might to, yes. so the inconvenience estimates the your steady migration policy starts november

9th on dw. do you know which of these 3 industries has the highest c o 2 emission rates, which is good. concrete, transforming business delivers onset the bigger house. but the real new deal just reimbursing the watch now the so you don't think and feel the same way you expect and one different thing from life and your parent. i just want to pursue what sets my so on fire or you think you kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, unreasonable, all stuff i want to in because it's

time to to and then when generation nash, which now dw documentary, this is data in here is life from valid donald trump lynn's back, the wife's house on he's ready to wield power has given us at home press. it is 10 powerful mandate presidency. that's the republican party, also one bathroom of georgia in the us senate pulse on the program to have a nice job among the european leaders lining up to congratulate mr. trump and declared that ready to work with him. what about ukraine and worries about the trade will.
