One of the country's leading poultry companies, Perdue Farms, announced plans Monday to make both life and death a little easier for its chickens.
The changes are a break with current standard practices in the industry, and animal welfare groups are cheering.

Im no animal rights freak, but I have seen in person how they raise those. A chicken factory in Iowa... it truly is sickening... and all illegals work there, because as the dude says, you dont have to pay them if they get hurt.

This is a good move. I have about 100 chickens right now and they lead pretty good lives and when it’s dinner time the end is very quick and they don’t suffer.

On vacation we went to a park in AR and it was completely overwhelmed by filthy mexicriminal illegals from the chicken plant in about 10 minutes.
We had to leave because my wife and child were no longer safe.
I support TX secession mostly because we can then get rid of all the Mexicans. They demean our culture and Nation with their presence.

They will meet master chicken Chiang, who will let them in on the secret that they have already arrived.

A happier chicken is a tastier chicken.
Even beyond that, good for them to do what they can to improve the lives of these creatures.

I prefer them to live in the open prairie and die by #5 shot

Would they be any tastier if they had music piped in 24/7?

One time I saw a help wanted ad for a “de-beaker”. You take one chick at a time and chop off the pointy end of their beak so they can’t hurt each other. Heck of a job.

Purdue plans to engage in a *Pollocaust*.
We’ve had chicken farms in Connecticut. When a neighbor farm closes....the land is sold to developers....and the people in their suburban mcmansions can’t stand the smell of their poultry neighbors. The rest of the story....you can guess.

You are fortunate. We thrive on wild-caught protein.
You can’t compare the taste to factory raised poultry.

"...want to make sure that animals are raised in as caring a way as possible. With the least stress, the least discomfort."
Tastier, healthier (requiring less chemical intervention), and probably more nutritious. And cheaper in the end. Good for farmers, good for consumers.
