...have its head cut off, however. I just don't think I could handle the trauma.
and Could turn you into a vegetarian!
I was fancinated by the live poultry market as a child-- is was set up as small factory-- you chose a chicken, the chickens feet were put into a vice, the butcher cut off the chickens head, and immediately hung it by the vise on its feet-- and from then on, it was automated-- there was a machine with rubber "fingers" that plucked the chicken...
I always wanted my mother to buy a fresh chicken.. (but my dad was a butcher and he bought all the meat for the household)...
I was never around chickens enough when they were alive to develop any feeling for them. The process was mechanical, and the death was swift-- I liked seeing how live chickens turned into food.-- growing up in the city, i was disconnect from how most food was produced.
