Made me sad.. poor little things.

I try and buy "Quality" meat at all times but its still sad to watch.

They could have at least not thrown them around. :/

mmmmmmmm.... chicken,

My favourite meat, even if it wasn't mass produced I wouldn't mind killing a chicken for food

Awwwww cute but also sad...

Feels a bit wrong to treat them as lifeless objects ( mainly in the sorting by those old women throwing them around

, and during all the belts etc), some of those falls must hurt

. But at the same time, it's not ''dramatic'' yet, they're not being tortured just yet, they ( hopefully

) aren't getting any major injuries of it.

Can't really do much about it tbh, it's not as me not eating chicken or whatever is going to change anything, I'll enjoy my chicken just as much as usually...

Hippy.

Chicken = yum.

If we knew what they really do to animals, we'd probably all be vegetarian.

Innocence is bliss.

Ignorance is too.

I remember seeing a clip which showed chicks being 'shot' from the end of a conveyor belt into a large barn from a lorry... looked quite unpleasant.

It is the bacteria in chicken that gives it it's flavour.

Can't see youtube videos but I'm presuming its battery farmed chickens?

Simple answer: don't buy cheap meat.

no, it's how they mass hatch chickens (where chicken rearers buy the chicks from in the first place). even higher quality free range chickens go through this process except they are the lucky ones ending up in some nice field somewhere rather than a shead.

Wipes away a tear and gets on with egg and bacon sarnie.

Ah.

Not all free range chickens go through that process.

They get treated better than the wild. Wheres the circling sparrow hawk that coming to bite their head off?

MooMoo444 · 24 Oct 2008 at 09:40

I don't like seeing them bounced around lile golfballs but as said above, they're perfectly safe unlike in the wild where most probably get eaten while young by something.

Poor little ******s
