While people in developing countries will be suffering shortly because of lack of protein and malnutrition, I'm sure many in the West will celebrate this as a great step towards veganism.
I doubt any vegans will celebrate unnecessary slaughter of 2M chickens.
And animal protein consumes a lot of plant protein to make. If you want to feed people it's much more efficient to send over the soj and grain the chickens are fed, rather than the chicken meat.
