Broiler Chicken suffering

RSPCA On line ^ | Just showed up on my machine | RSPCA 2001

The chick on the left is an egg-layer. The chick on the right is a meat chick or broiler, specially bred to grow much faster. After only four days the meat chick may already be developing bone and leg problems. By three weeks...

Oh for goodness sakes, the fat one is for the poor, the little one is probably tastier but more expensive. What the he11 do we want? To starve the poor?

[Drew68]

Don't forget the other one...

That Chicken Ranch can hardly be considered boneless. ;)

[Born to Conserve]

Can't we all just be politically correct?

[Tennessee_Bob]

LOL!

[Cuttnhorse]

Very good T-Bob...brought back old Nevada memories!!!

[McBuff]

You are a no good heartless Neanderthal, T.B.

My heart bleeds for those two helpless chicken baby fetuses that will never have a chance at life because they will be assaulted by you're Neanderthal and cro-magnon co-horts. Probably, with a few strips of innocent piggy flesh on the side, or perhaps mangled piggy innards in patties or links! You're the animals, I tell you!

And what did you do to that poor chicken? She was probably the mommie! You beast. You dismembered the mommie and fryed her body parts!!I think I'm going to be sick!!

[William Terrell]

Do you know how they caponize a rooster?

[Cuttnhorse]

In Peru, fishmeal is just about all they feed commercial chickens...when I walked in the door at dinner time, I couldn't tell if the cook was cooking fish or fowl!!
Wouldn't eat chicken 'till I went home to Idaho.

[Tennessee_Bob]

Want some breakfast with that??? I'll put the coffee on.

Not the details

[William Terrell]

In Alabama, I put a chicken tractor (movable 5x10 cage with 5 or 6 chickens used to clear and fertilize garden plots) on a fire ant nest. Next day, the nest had moved out side the cage. I moved the cage over it again.

I chased that fire ant nest over most of an acre until the chickens finally got the queen. Never had so much fun out of bed.

[Cuttnhorse]

LOL, I can just imagine, and what a great idea!!

[Balding_Eagle]

But seriously, I am always willing to pay the extra 10-20% it costs to get the more carefully produced chicken, beef, eggs, whatever.

No problem with that here.

I know a lot about how food is produced, including many of the inside details of both ordinary agriculture and organic farming. I'm also pleased to let you spend the extra money for lower quality, less safe food.

Just be careful, the organic farms produce often contains high levels of bacteria from the fertilizer they use, and other health issues.

[Balding_Eagle]

Every had "bug-fed-chicken-eggs"?

Lots, when I was a kid, which is why I don't eat them anymore.

Oh, but the details are devilish! Much kinder all 'round to grow a breed. They ain't gonna last long anyway. . .

[stilts]

Heck, as long as they get it to me fresh I don't care that it had a short life in a small box.

[stilts]

In the "wild" chickens wouldn't survive too long as a species. If it wasn't for the people this poster is against no chicken would get a chance to live. The Greenies are too focused on the chickens death when actually, without their death no chicken would be granted life.

You are in desperate need of sensitivity training.

[StACase]

It's their quality of life, don't you dopey right wingers know that happy chickens taste better? < /sarcasm >
