Somebody call ACS! THERE ARE CHICKENS BEING ABUSED!

Somebody call ACS (Administration for CHICKEN Services)! There are chickens being abused! PETA wrote an article based on the abuse chicken's face in different industries. From Tyson to Purdue (as shown to us in Food Inc.) to many other industries across our nation. Something MUST be done! But what? In their article, PETA opened up by speaking of the intelligence level of poultry by stating:

"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?

  1. 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 .

  2. Jose,

    What 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.
