This was posted a while back apparently when it first happened. The chicken had to be killed and there were 30,000 of them. So the question is, how do you otherwise kill that many without going totally broke in the process? If it was a large wood chipper, they would've died almost intantly. Would it have been better for them to chop off all their heads and have 30,000 headless chickens running around? (they do run around after their heads are cut off) Injecting or gassing that many chickens would've been a longer, more drawn out death and that would've taken a lot of money and much more man power. I'm not sure what they did with the chippered up meat but it seems like if they had bags attached to the output of the wood chipper, they could've sealed them and disposed of them with a large bonfire or something. Honestly, to me it doesn't sound like it was such a bad way to do it considering how many they had to kill. As long as it was a large wood chipper, it was likely a much quicker and more humane death than they use at chicken-for-food factories. Killing this many animals at one time is going to sound gruesome no matter how it's done.

Oh yeah! Shannon Doherty invites her friends over, starts the cameras rolling, and Scare Tactics has their next episode ready for TV!
