"Chickens
are inquisitive, intelligent animals who, according to animal
behaviorist Dr. Chris Evans of Australia’s Macquarie University, “are
good at solving problems.” He explains that chickens are able to
understand that recently hidden objects still exist, a concept that
small children are unable to master. Discussing chickens’ capabilities,
he says, 'As a trick at conferences, I sometimes list these attributes,
without mentioning chickens, and people think I’m talking about
monkeys.'(1)
In nature, chickens form friendships and social hierarchies,
recognize one another and develop a pecking order, love and care for
their young, and enjoy dust-bathing, making nests, and roosting in
trees. Chickens raised for meat and eggs are unable to engage in any of
these activities."
After praising the chickens, showing us some value in them, they immediately start tossing off numbers on how many are raised for meat, and how many are raised for eggs, and then, worst of all, how many are killed. The sadness to this could not even be explained, and the questions on how many are put on hormones to double the speed it grows or produce are passed around. But, the real question is... What could America do to help stop this evil?
Chickens are being abused and mistreated it is ridiculous. The way that they kill the chickens is just traumatizing. I agree with this blog, chickens shouldn't be used for this kind of violence. i mean i understand that chickens are used in order to have things like chicken breasts, chicken strips, chicken nuggets, etc .

Jose,
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think should be done about this? What solution is there to this problem? Is it that everyone stop eating chicken? How would the industry be able to keep up with the demand for chicken if it was only produced "humanely and organically'? Is it possible. You should check out Cheyenne's post about the demand for chicken.
