中國湖南一座家禽孵化場16日被揭發殘忍燙死上萬隻甫出生小鴨,一系列駭人照片與影片在網路上瘋傳。

據了解,每天有上萬隻新生小公鴨因為無生育功能,被視為無利用價值而慘遭活活燙死,經處理後銷往外地的至街販作為烤肉,或賣給養蛇戶用以餵蛇。

動保人士形容此舉「野蠻至極」、「可怕」,但絕不是中國的唯一案例。
偷拍下此案的中國記者李根也表示,這在中國各地是很常有的事。「這些小鴨通常出生不到4天,因為大家認為他們無用,養育上也得花不少成本。」、「所以小鴨們形同排隊等死。」

李根表示,孵化場員工透露,一般孵化要花上20天,接著會把母鴨、公鴨挑成兩堆,他們會販售母鴨,並以最經濟省錢的方式殺死公鴨,因為沒有人想要買公鴨。

![Staff from the hatchery sorted the female ducklings from the male ducklings as soon as they were hatched. The female ducklings will go on to be sold, but the male one will soon face the tragic ending of their lives](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/58b3d055931f8.jpg)
動保人士向大眾請願,希望喚起更多人關注,「我們不能活在這個世界上,卻假裝什麼都沒看見。」記者說:「這些小鴨們的死法真的很痛苦,若孵化場要處理這些小鴨們,至少應該找個更人道的方式,這實在太殘忍了。」
![Li Gen, who took these pictures, said that such practice is considered 'normal' and 'regular' in his home country](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/58b3d05663c93.jpg)

據統計,一年全國有大約25億隻小雞因為沒有”生存”價值而一出生就會被這樣殘殺。
![Li Gen said: 'It must be so painful for the ducklings to be scalded to death. If the hatchery must get rid of these male birds, I hope they could find a humane way. This is too cruel'](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/58b3d0584e407.jpg)
