A museum is killing chicks just a few days after they hatch so a new batch of eggs can be put in the incubator. This museum claims this cruel practice teaches the public about life cycles. Sign this petition and demand the museum put a stop to the senseless killing of baby chicks.

Really? Well, I’m really sick of projects that harm animals to give people an educational experience. Most don’t care enough to really learn anything. Same for zoos as educational facilities.
I was a docent at a museum of Native American art and culture. School buses would pull up and discharge their occupants to us for a tour and lesson in cultural appreciation. Geez Louise! You wouldn’t believe some of the behavior and comments! They got back on the bus in the same condition as they came in. Wherever the failure lay, education didn’t happen.
