A man has been decapitated in a horrific accident at a chicken processing factory in Melbourne, Australia.
Mr Sarel Singh, 34, was killed instantly when he was sucked into a machine and decapitated in an incident that has now placed the entire poultry processing industry under review.
The factory was already under investigation over claims of unlawful and unethical treatment of its majority migrant workforce, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Lateline programme reported.
Mr Singh's brother, Harry, said that Sarel had migrated from India four years ago 'in the hope of finding a better life in Australia'.
But Sarel had told his brother, who lives in India, that his job at the Melbourne factory was 'hell' and he was planning to return home.
'He used to say that life working at that place was like hell.
'He said it's a very hard job and he was tired of it.
'But due to the burden of the loans and debts over here and in Australia too, he had to work over there and he was struggling hard.'

This is horrible, to be sure. And yet the first thing that came to mind after that was Rush’s Weemsco Tuna commercial parody.

well obviously the chicken industry should be shut down and everyone can eat little green crackers

Sounds like a plan, so start making little green crackers.

Ed: That's no way for a man to die.
Frank: No...you're right, Ed. A parachute not opening...that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine...having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go.

Meanwhile, may Mr. Singh's soul find peace.

As a matter of fact, I don't even think meds would help.

Still a horrible way to go.
Worse still when combined with, “Would you like fries with that?”
