This is horrifying...

Interesting that the premise is on desensitizing the chicken, and not improving the conditions. Like most things done today, a band-aid to a situation, instead of tackling the root cause.
We brought home day-old chicks 10 months ago. It is amazing to see how quickly they can grow. Now I understand how farms can push out a pullet every 6-8 weeks. Each of our girls lays an egg a day and have become my children's pets. While we are not vegetarian, I don't see us butchering them anytime soon. Or ever, for that matter.
Being close to your food source can be a fascinating experience.

Really? I grew up around chickens and I just think they're nasty.

This isn't a band-aid, it's a legit solution to the problem.

My grandfather raises chickens to eat them. He has dogs as pets. Funny cause in some countries they eat dogs...

i refuse to eat at Halal restaurants.

This intrigued me. Could you explain why? I don't know much about Halal practices, I'd be interested to know your reasons why you refuse to eat at such establishments.

i dont eat Halal because im Catholic. is that good enough for you?

im not sure i should feel any need to explain my reasons.

Hey be cool, I was just confused because you seemed to place it within the context of eating free range and organic meat only, so I wasn't seeing the connection. I wasn't trying to be confrontational! Carry on...

I still find it odd..........I grew up Catholic too, but I am sure as hell open to eating clean food.
