TikTok has not only become the ideal place to viralize videos and make people popular, but it has also become popular as the largest platform that generates criticism and debates based on the topics published, ranging from funny content, informative and sometimes even a little delicate.
Although there are people whose sole purpose is to teach about a subject, negative comments are never lacking, just as this small farmer shared advice so that the chickens do not eat the eggs, he was criticized by a vegan woman and the response of the boy went viral.
Carlos Alberto is a farmer boy in Colombia, who through his TikTok account @lagranjaddelborrego, is in charge of creating content to give advice and show the work that is done on a farm.
On one occasion, the little boy shared a video giving advice to prevent chickens from eating their eggs, a recording to which the tiktoker vegan @soyvelen responded with a sarcastic tone that probably the reason they eat his eggs is because they are theirs and not his.
The woman’s answer did not please Carlos at all, so he chose to share a recording in which he answers her through various points and explains that on his farm they treat their animals with respect, since in addition to being their pets, he is a vegetarian.
I’m sure, I mean, I know, that those eggs aren’t mine, they belong to my hens, but they lay eggs every day and well, I’m not going to waste food, apart from that, they don’t eat them, so I take advantage and sell them and I have to clarify that to people.

The debate did not end there. After the young farmer’s response went viral by assuring that he does not like people to assume bad things about his farm. The tiktoker vegan published a recording in which she began to clarify each of the points that the child exposed, ensuring that she is saying things that she did not even say.
Among her arguments, the young woman said that eggs should not be part of the diet. In addition, she assured that the hens have been genetically modified, since before they were not bigger than a pigeon and that they did not lay more than only 20 eggs per year. On the subject that the child sees chickens as pets, the woman assured that this is speciesism and that as a vegetarian, he should know what that means, since it is practically discrimination against those who are not of the same species.
I think it’s perfect that you rescued the chickens that were going to be slaughtered. There are plenty of sanctuaries and shelters that take care of the same thing. Unlike you, sanctuaries and shelters do not live off chickens or their eggs. You refer to chicken eggs as food, which they are not and should not be because they are not essential for a complete diet. I understand that they lay a lot of eggs, they do it because they are genetically modified to do so.

The controversial debate about chickens did not take long to become popular, in which most of the comments attacked the woman for criticizing a simple boy who is only in charge of taking care of his animals and selling his products.
So far, Carlos Alberto has not published a response to the girl’s last video, he even deleted the controversial videos from his account, trying to conclude the controversial discussion.
