  1. I know we have to eat them, but isn’t this immoral? don’t they least they deserve a better life until they are slaughtered?

  2. I understand, but most animals have nervous systems (such as birds and mammals), which means that they can indeed feel pain as an unpleasant feeling. Plants however, do not have such systems in their structures so whether or not they feel pain is unknown.

  5. The bad problem of this is that none of these hybrds have been tested before and are basically being tested on humanes now. The results are unknown but we will no doubt have the same things the birds are having.. Heart & lung problems plus bone deformities maybe even more effects in a long range. The question I have is.. Who will pay for and take care of the deformed and damaged children of the next genertions? Governments or the parents or are they just going to be die, like the birds?

  6. Yup. Julia Child (a chef) decried this practice, because the chickens’ flavour and consistency is so awful. Why? They lead miserable stunted lives. So the meat tastes the same. Miserable.

  7. I totally believe this. You are what you eat. If the animals you eat are sick, so will you be. Puberty comes far earlier now. Gee, I don’t wonder why.

  8. If you’ve never eaten anything else, maybe. When you’re hungry, everything is delicious. Too bad you’ve decided to ignore animal cruelty, because you’re too busy stuffing your face.

  9. So… this is why mega-farm chickens are so bland and so dry, compared to traditionally-raised ones, and its meat is so slimy.
