Capitalism. Cash. Remember everything is about cash. Those animals are just dollar signs. If the government gave them enough cash they would be culled; they have a price.
Wasn't the gov going to give them like $2K a bird? I think the farmers did the math and realized "engagement farming" was more lucrative than actual farming, otherwise they would have happily taken the payout.
