one of those videos about how food animals are inhumanely slaughtered. How depressing. Poor beakless chickens. And then, from out of nowhere, bull castration! God almighty.

The odd part? I still like chicken. Sorry animal rights people. You tried your best, but chicken is just too delicious.

there are very humane methods of slaughtering an animal. They need feel no pain at all..and it's very, very quick.

The same is said for keeping animals... caging chickens/pigs/etc is just plain wrong and it also effects the quality of the meat. If animals are able to live out their lives happily then the meat is of a far better quality. Exercise makes for a healthy, happy andimal which will produce.. high quality meat.

I've seen animals be slaughtered in a humane way and I've seen them slaughtered in a way that is just abhorant. Mind you, it still upsets me to see their reactions.. most animals have a reaction to it.. cows will fret because they can smell the blood of the one to go in before them.. lambs of course scream.. it's a horrible sound and it takes some getting used to...I cannot be a part of anything to do with the slaughter of a calf .. they just stand there.. doe eyed and innocent.. it's why I can't eat veal.. seriously... if you saw them.. you'd go "oh come on.. surely we don't need to kill the babies!". Chickens on the other hand don't worry too much about it... but then they are a stupid animal despite my adoration of them.


The odd part is.. I could finish working at the slaughter house.. and come back to the main house and get into some lamb chops.. or steak.. or bacon.. and not think about it at all. LOL.

Don't stop eating meat, stoyva, just advocate the humane treatment of animals. You'll like your meat/eggs/milk.. soooooooooo much better!

Yeah that's what I took away from it. There have to be less brutal ways of killing them.

there are.. electric shocks to the system are painless (because it's a huge amount of electricity that stuns the brain so they feel no pain when they are hung and the throat cut

it's literally a 5 second process from them walking to to hanging up ride over the blood bath and bleeding out.. and probably.. ooh.. give or take half an hour from then to being totally cleaned out.. and ready fr the butchers.


Actually if you would like to see it done the humane way.... humane slaughter house

I'd still eat meat if I had to kill it myself every time, and witness the animal's suffering. I just wouldn't enjoy the meal quite as much.

Dr. Chris Evans, Professor of Psychology at Macquarie University, Australia

“Chickens exist in stable social groups. They can recognize each other by their facial features. They have 24 distinct cries that communicate a wealth of information to one other, including separate alarm calls depending on whether a predator is traveling by land or sea. They are good at solving problems. ‘As a trick at conferences I sometimes list these attributes, without mentioning chickens, and people think I’m talking about monkeys,’ Mr. Evans said.

Perhaps most persuasive is the chicken’s intriguing ability to understand that an object, when taken away and hidden, nevertheless continues to exist. This is beyond the capacity of small children.”

Grimes W, “If Chickens Are So Smart, Why Aren’t They Eating Us?” New York Times, January 12, 2003.

Dr. Christine Nicol, Professor of Veterinary Science at Bristol University, England

“‘They may be bird brains, but we need to redefine what we mean by bird brains,’ she told the British Association Festival of Science at Leicester University. ‘Chickens have shown us they can do things people didn’t think they could do. There are hidden depths to chickens, definitely.’”

Ananova, “Chickens ‘Not Just Bird-Brains,’” September 11, 2002. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_668673.html

Dr. Bernard Rollin, Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University

“Contrary to what one may hear from the industry, chickens are not mindless, simple automata but are complex behaviorally, do quite well in learning, show a rich social organization, and have a diverse repertoire of calls. Anyone who has kept barnyard chickens also recognizes their significant differences in personality.”

Rollin B, Farm Animal Welfare: School, Bioethical, and Research Issues (Iowa State University Press, 1995, p. 118).


That is one of the PETA-esque sites that tells you to become a vegetarian, though.

That just makes me want to eat them more. Despite my respect for Mike the Headless Chicken, they simply taste too good. What sort of natural defense mechanism is that? Being delicious?

They WANT to be eaten.

I love steak, but refuse to eat veal. My great aunt and uncle had calves on their farm they would slaughter for veal, and it wasn't the killing that made me sad - it was how they were taken away from their mothers, and kept alone in little plastic huts that they could barely move in. I'd put my hand in to pet one, and it would suck desperately on my hand, looking up with these beautiful, sad lonely eyes.

I care more about how the animal lives then how they died. Chicken I have no trouble eating, I've watched them get slaughtered with the traditional stump-and-axe method and it seemed pretty fast and efficient.

I don't eat lamb, either.
