Why it sucks to be born as a Chicken
You hatch in a crowded industrial facility, surrounded by chirping
chicks.
draw a conveyor belt in a factory carring eggs, some of them already
hatched so they're eggs and chicks on the conveyor belt - focus on
one of the eggs as it hatches
Within hours, you’re sorted, vaccinated, and trimmed
draw the conveyor belt pass some humans wearing face masks and hair
covers, one human picks the chick, vaccinates it with a sryinge and
uses a scissors to trim the feathers
—no warmth, just heat lamps and sterile air.
draw a far away view of some chicks on the floor and the ceeling is
visible showing heat lamps hanging
Your first breath is filled with disinfectant as you’re sent down a
conveyor belt for gender sorting
draw the chicks on a moving conveyor belt as a human sprays a
disinfectant spray
If you’re female, you survive the first hurdle, but it’s a rough start.
draw the conveyor belt split into two ways, there is a sign above the
two ways, one has the male logo and a skull drawn on it the other has
the female logo and a "tick" sign on it
You’re sent to a warehouse packed with thousands of others, where
privacy doesn’t exist.
draw a warehouse filled with little chicks, cut to a close up of one of
the chicks looking nervous
You grow at a terrifying rate, 400% faster than chickens from the
1950s.
draw a chick on the right side on the screen display text "Today" as
it grows to a hen and on the left side draw a chick as it grows but
slower than the one on the right and display text 1950's above that
If humans grew like that, a 2-month-old would weigh 660 lbs.
draw a big fat baby sitting on a scale, the scale breaks as springs pop
out of it, display text "660 lbs" in red
Your body can’t keep up, and by week two, your legs struggle to support
your rapid growth.
draw a teenage hen (not a chick but still not yet an adult) with tiny
legs that start to wiggle under the weight of the body
You never see sunlight, and natural instincts like foraging are useless in
this climate-controlled space.
draw a view of the cicks from outside througn a window of the
warehouse then cut to a view of one of the hens looking sad and it
looks upwards to the ceeling
Everything about you is engineered to grow fast
draw a chick and show as it grows big to a hen
your bones, muscles, and heart are pushed to the limit
draw a chicken leg bone, a piece of muscle and a chicken heart, they
all break like glass
Antibiotics are constantly in your feed, as disease spreads quickly.
a human pours antibiotics into a chicken feeder as the hens eat from
it
Life revolves around eating and growing.
draw a hen eating from a chicken feeder and it grows bigger slowly
In just 42 days, you’ll reach market weight
draw a big hen on a scale as the scale reads "3.5"KG
six times the size of your wild ancestors.
draw a small looking wild adult hen next to the regular factory hen and
put text "6x" in the middle of the hens
Your life is measured by weight gain, and when it’s over,
draw a butcher looking at the hen on a conveyor belt and he gives a
thumbs up
you’re processed, never having known the simple joys of nature.
draw a chicken in the middle of a dinner table with other foods around
it
Why it sucks to be born as a Ninja
You're born in Japan, somewhere between the 1600s and 1700s
draw a ninja holding a new born baby (zoom in to show only the baby)
right in the heart of the ninja era.
(same scene) zoom out now to show the ninja that's holding the baby
From the moment you're born, there’s no childhood playtime or friends.
draw the baby sitting on the floor and playing with a toy and smiling
as a hand snatches the toy away from the baby and the baby looks
sad
Your only purpose is training to become a deadly, silent assassin.
draw the baby (gorwn into a toddler now) in a ninja outfit as he looks
at his body confused
This begins early—
some hands come from off screen to give the baby a katana and some
nunchucks
crawling through thorns to toughen your skin
draw the toddler in the ninja outfit crawling through thorns as some
of them injure him
and learning how to move without making a sound.
draw the toddler ninja tiptoeing to a soldier who is facing the other
way
If you step on a twig, you’re done.
the ninja steps on a twig and the soldier looks back and kicks him away
Your training is brutal. You learn how to scale walls,
draw the toddler ninja climbing a japanese style building
climb mountains,
draw the toddler ninja climbing a mountain
and use ropes, ladders, and hooks to break into enemy castles
draw the toddler ninja swinging into a balcony of a castle with a rope
as he tiptoes into the castle
You also master the art of disguise,
draw the ninja in blank background and display text "art of disguise"
pretending to be a traveler,
draw the toddler ninja with big bags on his back and holding a stick
and display text "traveller"
monk,
draw the todler ninja in monk robes and meditating, display text
"Monk"
merchant
draw the todler ninja in a merchant stall selling clothes and spices
or even a Samurai to infiltrate and gather intel.
draw the todler ninja dressed as a samurai as he gives a thumbs up
You’re taught how to use weapons like katanas,
draw the todler (in a dojo) holding a katana
throwing stars,
(same scene) he pulls out throwing stars with his other hand
blowguns,
cut to: toddler ninja holding a blow gun in one hand
and smoke bombs, all for silent kills.
(same scene) the ninja brings out a smoke bomb and drops it, smoke
covers the scene
By the time you’re 10 or so, you’re already on assassination missions.
draw the 10 year old ninja standing next to a dead japanese man in a
japanese style house, display text "mission accomplished"
Ninjas often died young, mostly in their 20s, due to the dangerous
nature of the job.
draw a grave in a grave yard, on the tombstone draw a ninja and put
text "aged 20"
If you made it into your 30s, you’d likely retire,
draw the ninja (30 years old now) in a dojo as he takes off his mask
but even then, your physical skills would be fading.
draw the hand of the ninja as he tries to make a fist but he trembles
Most ninjas ended up forgotten, alone, and in constant pain from years
of hard work.
draw the retired ninja as he walks down a hallway with a walking stick
holding his back in pains
Your life, if you survive, is full of danger, betrayal, and loneliness.
draw the ninja (looking old now) sitting on a balcony looking sad
But at least you got to wear the cool uniform—
(same scene) he smiles as he brings out the ninja mask and wears it
until you’re left to die in obscurity.
draw a grave on a grave yard and draw a ninja on the grave stone
