Is this an ethical stance? I couldn't find any information. Could you clarify? Or is it just that they're too small?
Yes, it's an ethical stance, but I don't want to cause an argument. For me, an animal deserves the right to a decent lifespan, even if it is then to be slaughtered and eaten. Six weeks (the average age of a hen at slaughter) is far too little anyway, but a poussin is less than a month old. Surely there should be a limit beyond which killing a baby animal is unacceptable, should there not ? It is for the same reasons that I do not eat veal ('though there are other aspects of cruelty involved there) and will not order suckling pig, although I will reluctantly eat it if served at a Chinese banquet because it is better that it be eaten than go to waste.
