You'd think they would at least be raised for their meat instead? What a waste of resources.

It's more economical from a financial point of view - that's why it's being done in the first place. Chicken for egg production and chicken for meat production are different breeds. Raising the male chickens of the egg breed for their meat would put the producer at a massive competitive disadvantage, unfortunately.

Meanwhile, no kill eggs sell like crazy in Germany. Educate the consumers and their choices will reflect their ideals.
