why would you want to know that? you're sick : (
Reply: This is the response of a person who is having his/her own issues with "sick." Perhaps the original questioner saw the Palin interview with the turkey slaughter going on in the background, and wondered about the process. If this is correct, then the question was asked, not because the questioner is "sick," but because he/she is troubled at the images and needed emotional clarification of what he/she witnessed. I might turn around the question on the person who gave the original answer and observe that you must be sick to make such a unwarranted and slanderous accusation.
it is a cruel process. if you really want to know go look it up on u tube or the American humane society web site and look up chicken slaughter houses it is the same process.
Reply: This is a reasonably good reply to a troubling question. However, before we jump into deep water that condemns all slaughter--simply because there is no such thing as pleasant slaughter--let us consider that what is distasteful to many of us, loses that distastefulness when it is grilled, roasted, fried, or otherwise prepared for consumption. It is true that all slaughter is, from the perspective of most people, unpleasant, to charge that all slaughter is "cruel" is like arguing that all blacks eat watermelon or that all Russian women are muscular wrestlers. However, I also suggest that "Google is your friend"--as is Bing.
