Filipino researchers are developing a breakthrough that could change the future of farming: a humane way to end duckling culling. Traditionally, hatcheries around the world cull male ducklings since they don’t lay eggs and are often considered “less profitable.” This practice has long been criticized as wasteful and cruel, and it leaves farmers with moral dilemmas.

This means fewer lives wasted, less cruelty, and better balance between science and compassion. For us, it’s not just about technology. It’s a reminder that kindness can shape progress. Just as Filipinos value malasakit (compassionate concern), this innovation shows how empathy can guide even the most technical solutions.
