(Vegan AF) — Two million chickens will be killed at several farms in Maryland and Delaware according to a statement released by Delmarva Poultry Industry Inc. The company claims that they are doing this due to a lack of employees at processing plants.
The company states that reduced employee attendance at the company's plants is a result of "additional community cases of COVID-19, additional testing, and people practicing the 'stay home if you're sick' social distancing guidance from public health officials," the statement reads.
Vegan AF has reached out to both the Maryland and Delaware Department of Agriculture for a statement in regards to this unfolding situation.
