Would a boycott be in order for McDonalds?

I boycott McDonalds because their food isn't that cheap, it tasted like shit, and it's unhealthy. Who cares about PETA?

I am not trying to promote PETA I just found it sickening the way those chickens were being slaughtered.

You were expecting wholesale animal slaughter to be pretty?

I have two questions out of sheer curiosity. One, if you're not a big PETA freak, why were you on their website? Two, did you bother to try to find out WHY the methods you object to are being used? In other words, did you look for the other side of the argument, or did you just take PETA's word for everything?
 
Ummmm ... they are chickens. Do I have to say anymore?

No, but back on the farm we killed are chicken as painless as possible and they were dead before they were defeathered.

Yeah I see the point of that ... if It can be done painlessly I suppose thats great. Im not sure what pain chickens feel ... never looked into the research but they are doing it at a mass production level. I suppose the food would be a lot healtier if it were raised by many people with small farms as opposed to on the huge farms like today. I stay away from McDonalds for the most part as everyone knows its unhealthy.

Yes, food would probably be healthier if the animals were raised on small, Mom-and-Pop farms . . . for those who could afford it. Everyone ELSE, on the other hand, would just have to do without, because it would be a lot less plentiful and a hell of a lot more expensive that way. I don't think THAT sounds all that healthy.
 
Especially when PETA are such flaming hypocrites.

Just because they are hypocrites does that take away from the video? I think the intent of the video was to make people aware of how some animals are slaughtered for food.

I'm not sure PETA is the most impartial judge here. I see chickens being treated inhumanely...but nothing that says they're destined to be McNuggets.

I'm curious, though...why can't the chickens just be decapitated?

I'm not sure how one decapitates live chickens on a mass scale. I'm thinking they move a lot.

I was on a web site that had an advertisement of Jena Jameson, I was really more interested in seeing a necked picture of the porn star then I was of peta. and for your second question if you would do the same and read futher you would see that any question you have for me will have been answered,

Can't be any more difficult than slitting their throats.
 
I have killed both chickens and turkeys. The best, and what appeared to be a humane method is to truss the bird upside down by it's legs. It totally relaxes when you do this. You truss it up on a tree or rafters of a shed. Then you take a very sharp knife and slit its throat. The bird will bleed out. It doesn't struggle at all, it just quickly goes unconscious. It's an excellent way to drain the blood from the bird's body, since the heart is still beating if you do it right.

Then, immediately afterwards you defeather the bird while the body is still warm. Turkeys are a total pain in the ass because they are so huge. Chickens are a breeze. Then, of course, you clean the guts out which is exactly like cleaning a fish.

It's really a lot easier than you think and the birds don't appear to experience the terror as when you put them on the chopping block and decapitate them. They really struggle then. But, once you get them trussed up, they relax.

I understand that the majority of Americans eat animals As a matter of fact I am a meat eater myself. But I think animals should be treated a little better then this even if they are for eating purposes.

Are you a hunter? Have you ever raised any livestock for consumption? I can tell you that there's not really any humane way to kill an animal.

But what do you suggest they do with those poor wittle chickens? The cold hard truth is those chickens were raised for one reason, to be slaughtered and consumed. The may suffer a broke wing or leg before they die but their suffereing is short lived. They usually go from the farm where they were raised to slaughter where they meet their maker and there's not a whole lot of time in between for suffering.

And that's probably why the processors slit the throat instead of decapitating the bird.
