So you have a chicken having its throat slit for a religious ritual. Blood squirting out and it running around if it gets loose. Not passing judgment on anyone but can't you see why some would think this is not humane?
So you have a chicken being slaughtered (i know, throat slit sounds more dramatic), blood pouring out (like any slaughter,but sounds gory), and the chicken running around without a head (actually the nerve spasms in the carcass, the chicken isn't capable of doing anything once the communications from the brain are cut off). Sounds straight out if a horror movie. But you forgot to add the worst part, it gets cooked and eaten! Can you imagine how that would sound on a headline? All of these facts are only relevant if you're concerned about the indignity being done to the body. Since the body is consumed, we're obviously not too worried about that. In terms of pain to the animal, this is scientifically proven to be the most painless method. In other words, from a logical standpoint, these protestors have no standing. Thank goodness intelligence tends not to be their strong point, or is clouded over by an underlying cause. If you want to see abuse to the bodies, look at the millions of chickens destroyed recently. I don't remember hearing about the cruelty to animals then. Strange, no?
