Yups, well I've actually transported these poor little cluckers, and it was a job that I did n't like in the slightest (look for "The Chicken Killers" thread to find out more).

I too am fussy with food, and couldn't (for the moment, at least) contemplate life without meat - and before you all start jumping on me (lol), I have tried...but I dunno...juicy steak....succulent chicken....ahhh

I agree, things need to be looked at seriously.
That said - we live in a place and time where money is King...try asking a farmer to turn out loads of his land for free-ranging chickens....the chickens absolutely destroy land (especially in the numbers that we'd be talking about), and it just isn't financially viable.
And that's the bottom line, folks - money.

I don't like it anymore than the next man - I detest money with a passion - but we have to be realistic.

I've seen the sheds in which these poor chickens are kept in - we are talking about a shed of approximately 100Mtrs x 50Mtrs, with upwards of 20,000 chickens per shed...with artificial lighting, time released feed trays..the works.
These criters will ONLY see the light of day, on the day that they are loaded into the machine that kills them.
It's one of the saddest sights I've seen.

I've never done that job since, and never will again - no matter how hard-up I find myself.

I actually find that KFC has diminshed in quality, and as such don't bother with them - same with McD, Burger King, et al - but they are the same chickens that you'll find in ANY chicken type outlet (Tescos, Asda, Walmart, etc etc)

Anyways, I'm blabbing (trying to make the most of my last moments on the net lmaoo)

Cool post, robert
