"In her renowned book Slaughterhouse, Gail Eisnitz explains: “Other industrialized nations require that chickens be rendered unconscious or killed prior to bleeding and scalding, so they won’t have to go through those processes conscious. Here in the United States, however, poultry plants—exempt from the Humane Slaughter Act and still clinging to the industry myth that a dead animal won’t bleed properly—keep the stunning current down to about one-tenth that needed to render a chicken unconscious.” This means that chickens are still completely conscious when their throats are cut.

After the blade cuts their necks, blood slowly drains from the dying birds. But many birds flap about and miss the blade. These birds may have their throats slit by the “backup cutter,” but workers testify that it’s impossible for them to catch all the birds who miss the blade. According to USDA records, millions of chickens every year are still completely conscious when they are dunked into the scalding-hot water of the defeathering tanks."

again with gruesome details that have absolutely nothing to do with my comment.

and ftr, i wasn't addressing you, you've proven yourself obtuse and incapable of discussion here.

My quote clearly shows that the healthy (enough to be slaughtered) chickens aren't killed by electrocuting as you said. That was the point and as this thread's subject is heavily focused to killing sick chickens, my comment is very much in place. They don't kill even the healthy ones by electrocuting. Though they maybe could do that for the sick ones, but the killing facilities are probably in another place than in the farm. You know; in slaughterhouse.

there is nothing 'normal' about organic food... except the bugs and parasites in it.

Chickens have parasites in all forms of production. If you put shitloads of chickens on some crowded space, there is bound to be parasites and diseases, no matter how much you would pump antibiotics and poisons into those.

and that's why you are incapable of discussion. i never stated the chickens are killed by electrocution. i stated they can be treated/killed the same way as healthy ones, which is to electrocute the shit out them.

Ya me too lol I thought it was made from weird sludge that wasn't chicken lol

there's this thing called the humane slaughter act.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humane_Slaughter_Act

whacking fully conscious chickens with a fucking spiked bat does not qualify as humane slaughter.

Sorry, I must still must be hallucinating about you saying this about killing the chickens. And as the healthy ones aren't killed by electrocution, my notice is valid.

" the chicken farmers could electrocute the sick chickens just like how they kill the healthy ones."

again, you've proven yourself incapable of discussion. heads fucking up, the healthy ones are electrocuted as part of the slaughter process.


i'm not here to write 250 word fucking posts explaining every fucking thing, adults that are capable of dialogue work to understand each other, not misunderstand.

you're just playing gotcha bullshit

If you actually read my quote, the chickens are electrocuted, yes, but not to death or even stunned. Those just get a little "buzz".

Agreed :2 cents:

your quote is from 2006 and long outdated. just another reason you shouldn't be in this thread. you are clueless and try to misunderstand other's comments instead of trying to understand.

I did warn you :winkwink:

I shouldn't be in this thread because of an outdated link? What the other reasons are? Because you don't like me saying something against your saying?
You didn't even provide never source. Besides 9 years is not that long time.

Yes, I get that you think that whacking chickens is bad. Are all the other stuff you said just some filling for that?
