VARG!

Var irriterad idag, försökte skaka av mig det med en löprunda.. men det gick inte så bra.. Iom att jag alltid tappar all logik och alla nyanser så fort djur kommer på tapeten så tar jag istället o citerar från The Plight of Birds in the Poultry and Egg Industry så kanske risken är mindre att min egna okunskap färgar det hela. Artikeln är lite gammal från 2002.

Grabbarna fick 10 år för att tortera en hund...
In the United States, chickens, turkeys, ducks and other "meat-type" birds are intentionally kept alive through the slaughter process in order to keep their hearts beating. The birds are manually pulled from the crates on the flatbed trucks and hung upside down in the live-hang area of the slaughterhouse. Their heads are dragged through an electrified water bath trough that is designed not to stun them but to keep them from violently flapping while hanging from the conveyer belts and to paralyze the muscles of their feather follicles in order to facilitate feather release.
här kommer min lilla favourit:After being dragged through the electrified water bath, the birds have their necks partially cut by a machine blade and/or a manual neck cutter 'delvis halshuggen', låter najs :) . They then hang upside down for 90- seconds in a bleedout tunnel while still alive, with an unspecified number of birds reportedly asphyxiating in pools of floor blood if the conveyer belt dips too close to the bleedout floor. They are then dropped into tanks of scalding water.
Var det nån som nämde tortyr? hårdare straff ju våldsammare brott?

The cruelty of poultry slaughter has increased during the past two decades because younger and heavier birds with extremely fragile capillaries are now being slaughtered for the fast food and rotisserie trade, resulting in a greater susceptibility to hemorrhage under an electric current. (Most chickens-about 35 million a day in the U.S.-- are slaughtered at 6 to 7 weeks old.) Consequently, poultry companies have reduced the electrical current to "stun" chickens-to paralyze them without rendering them unconscious

Jag har alltid undrat vad som händer med äggläggningshönorna när dom är 'past their prime'
Approximately 26 million hens are trucked into Canada from the U.S. each year to be gassed in the trucks on arrival, according to the May 2000 issue of Animal People ("Starving the hens is 'standard").

Because spent laying hens have no commercial value, as explained by Canadian Farm Animal Care Trust president Tom Hughes, "They are not even worth enough money to go through the normal process of slaughtering and packing. The simplest method of disposal is to pack the birds, alive, into containers, and bulldoze them into the ground. . . . Another method is to pack the birds into a closed truck and connect the exhaust to the body of the truck" Dont you just love tha smell of gased hen in the morning... eller nått..

Nehe.. nu har jag inte tid med det här längre, ska dra ner till mojjen i hörnet, har hört dom har riktigt goda kycklingbröst med pommes.
