b)As a food service professional... I'll eat raw fish with good provanance, I'll eat raw beef with superlative provanance, or that I have personally butchered. I'll eat rare pork (these days).
But I cook chicken to an internal temp of 165F. Always.
Chickens are dangerous. Eggs the same. No so much as the '50s, but dangerous enough.
Chickens are bad for dogs. Feed 'em beef, gravy and cornbread. The way God meant. Actually, that sounds pretty good....

I feed my dog raw chicken all the time. There is just the correct about of glucosamine and condroiten in chicken bones to keep his joints healthy and he has enough stomach acid to kill any bug that might be in chicken. I used to worry about it until I saw him dig up a chicken leg a couple of days after I fed ;it. He ate it and was just fine.
