STRANGE STORY OF THE WEEK: VIRTUAL REALITY FOR CHICKENS

by Hazed

Introducing Second Livestock, a virtual reality system for chickens. Worried about the poor conditions of fowl that are intensely farmed in enormous sheds, never seeing daylight or experiencing the outside world? Then fit them with VR helmets, stand them on treadmills, and they’ll think they are in the great outdoors.

Genius!

This system was shown in a presentation designed to make people think about the ethics of animal husbandry. Read about it on the Second Livestock website here.
