No, in chicken farms they quite often put male chicks straight into a grinder.

Not joking.

Slight correction -- this is what happens in hatcheries for egg-laying chickens. The males are considered useless, so they are killed on their first day of life. When you pay for eggs, this is what you are demanding with your money. Time to stop eating eggs.

This is a larger indictment than of just eggs.

Frankly, people shouldn’t have to proverbially chase the industries they buy basic groceries and things to live from with a camera and a stick to catch endless human rights abuses and organize universal boycotts all on their own.

That is absolute insanity - most people in America, a big ol’ consumer country for these kinds of industries, are living paycheck to paycheck and can’t drum up $1000 bucks for an emergency.

Those are the people who are responsible for, and have to do the legwork for, stopping this grinder?

Thats a great way to ensure it never stops grinding chicks. There needs to be top-down enforced consequences for unethical behavior in industry.

Omnibeneviolent t1_j02o5px wrote

Why not both?

There will never be top-down action so long as it remains profitable and people just see it as an acceptable thing they feel ok paying for.

Why is "some people can't do it" always the default response? Think if you can do it and if you can, do it. Ofc a systemic solution would be better, but it has nothing to do with you personally contributing to something unethical. This is just deflection.

DarkSkyKnight t1_j02dyqc wrote

This is one of the most ethical ways of killing male chicks as the grinders are fast enough they would only be conscious of their deaths for a very short time.

Omnibeneviolent t1_j02nsuz wrote

An extremely painful "very short time." They often are bounced around on the blades for a second as well, getting all cut up more and more with every bounce.

Would you be ok with this or something similar being done to you, a dog, cat, etc.. as long as it was quick?

This might be slightly less un-ethical than other methods, but it's still far from ethical.

Doing a horrible thing in the 'most ethical way' is still doing a horrible thing. Don't try to justify the unnecessary mass killing of animals, please.

If it isn't necessary, what would you suggest doing with all the male chicks?

Omnibeneviolent t1_j02z8m9 wrote

The entire situation is not necessary. It's not necessary to eat eggs. If you stop paying for them, you stop demanding for this to happen.

You don't have to do anything with chicks that don't exist.

Not if you think about it from the top-down -- it seems like it's making no difference. But if you think about it from the bottom up, it's making a huge difference.

It reminds me of the boy and the starfish story:

>One day a man was walking along the beach, when he noticed a boy hurriedly picking up and gently throwing things into the ocean.

>Approaching the boy, he asked, “Young man, what are you doing?”

>The boy replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”

>The man laughed to himself and said, “Don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make any difference!”

>After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said, “I made a difference to that one.”

This is starting to bother me. I can't see any discernable change when the lever gets flipped. The belt at the very top stops occasionally, but the timing doesn't seem to be associated with the the lever

Can anybody clarify for me what the lever is doing? I know its all in good fun and the gif is pretty cool, but why have animate the lever flipping if it's doing nothing.

Someone please point out what I'm missing

Owolfs OP t1_j025e86 wrote

There was supposed to be a bigger reaction to switching the lever. But it was reduced to only calming down the rumbling box that the bones fly out off. So the bones turn on the lever, box starts to rumble, and the guy turns it off.

How do you make these? Is there an app or something? This is really cute.

12

Owolfs OP t1_j01t1tq wrote

I don’t know if there’s any easy app to create animated loops. Maybe it’s possible to use some sort of video game software and insert your own sprites.

I started with a hand-drawn sketch of elements I wanted to include. Then I used adobe illustrator to draw all the elements. And put everything together and into motion with after effects.

I know there are free / cheap alternatives to illustrator, but not quite sure about alternatives to after effects, which is why I stick to it.

That being said, my background is in illustration and graphic design, so the jump into animation is shorter than for someone starting from scratch.

However, there’s a lot of methods to create animation. Even low tech. I recently saw these beautiful paper-doll animations that was done with sticks by hand, I’ll link it if I can find it.

Sorry for not giving a short and easy option for your question.

How do you even go about making something like this? What would be the program used / work flow (Each moving element done separately?)

2

Owolfs OP t1_j024dzj wrote

I started with a really rough sketch on paper. Redrew it in procreate to clean up and plan a bit better what I wanted to do.

Then I started refining the background in illustrator. I created one layer of each continuous line of animation so I could overlap them later.

Once I had everything in place I made some really rough timing/ pacing tests in after effects. Character animation to see how fast each line or characters should go. I used 2/4/6/8 seconds as a framework for length, so I knew that could seamlessly loop everything. (If that didn’t make sense I can explain it better). Then I went to on to refine that part.

I created one cycle (one character going from start to end) and used an effect called echo to repeat it with a second between each. Since the characters are all the same, most animations only needed one second to loop, and create the illusion of endless repeats.

When all the loops were created I combined them in one image which became the finished result.

I use Adobe illustrator to draw, and Adobe after effects to animate.

But theres other, more affordable software like affinity that can do pretty much the same as illustrator(in this setting).

To get this “style” the most important part is consistency in line-size and simple geometric shapes as a foundation.
