“rendering them effectively brain-dead.”

The morons who propose things like this obviously know nothing about chickens. No chicken has a thought in its head worth considering. Anyone with the slightest bit of concern for the welfare of chickens that are raised to be consumed is brain-dead themselves.

A chicken has a brain probably the size of a pea?

Similar to supporters of a politician we talk about here frequently.

That’s not true at all. Chickens can be lovely, sweet animals and devoted pets.

What kind of brutal idiocy are you teaching our kids?

How long ‘til the ObamaCare “panels” apply the same techniques to the elderly in nursing homes, with the goal of making them “easier to care for” at lower expense??

Chickens think. And make clever wishes.

Wow. Not only do you manage to come off as completely callous towards animals with that statement, but you also manage to insult your fellow man, simply for wishing to be benevolent.

Have you ever been around a live chicken? They do have individual personalities and interact with humans far more than will a caged finch if they’re handled and socialized. If they don’t think, how come they’ll run to a human and beg for food. If they don’t think, why will they hop up on a human lap or shoulder? Why will they get excited when they see a human they know (and like)?

And no I’m not suggesting we stop eating them, even though they react a heck of a lot more strongly to humans than do finches or canaries.
