Doesn't seem to make any sense does it. But the farmers probably have their reason for doing that way. |

I didn't read the suffocation page...  They probably kill them the most cost effective way, one would hope that humanity is at least a variable in the equation. I would guess they can't use the chicken house again until the virus is gone, no need to drag them out, which might just spread the virus more. I don't know all that much about killing viruses, but 5 million decomposing chickens would probably kill anything  -Mike |

Suffocating Foam is the stuff non-riding bikers put in the fuel tank when they are not riding. Available at AutoZone Now it's Valk related  |

I've always wondered why McD's chicken nuggets taste funky?  |

They used to toss them in a tree chipper. Foam is supposedly more humane.  |

This may be the greatest single sentence ever written.

The bird flu is also engrained in the turkey farms here in Minnesota. I believe the number affected is 3.5 million. That's a lot of turkey's in one state. Ok,,,, all of you stop what your thinking...  |

Think maybe this is where nuggets comes from? You might want to watch this until the very end.

Britman: That story about modern chicken tasting bland is so true. We used to raise chickens to slaughter here on the farm. 100 or so each year. Relatives help butcher, and buy some. Free range raised. Cost more than buying in store, but taste was/is so much better. Gotten away from it the last decade or so. Lazy! I like raising some chickens. Love fresh eggs. However, tried it again last year, and failure! Not on the chickens part, but due to the fact that my sons family here, now has 3 dogs, and they all LOVE to kill chickens! Nothing more depressing than coming home to 50 dead chickens scattered around the yard in the evening!   So, for now, no more chickens. But, the FLAVOR is soooooooo much better! MP |

15 years or so ago, there was a Hutterite colony about an hour east of us that got into the free range chicken raising idea. Over a few years, they go to where they were selling thousands of chickens a year. Each fall, you would be able to buy them.
Mmmmmmmmmm, good!
But, they got too successful! The commercial growers got upset, and went after them. For failure to have the PROPER butchering equipment and procedures.
Not sanitary. Not safe, Yada, yada , yada. Never mind that over a decade or so, and a couple hundred thousand chickens sold, NOBODY ever got sick, and the customers LOVED the product, and were reserving chickens in advance.
In fact, they got so that their entire production was sold out each year, BEFORE they even hatched the eggs!
NOPE. Never mind all that. Shut them down, because some of their equipment did not meet specs.
Since they only had one hatching, and one processing season of a few weeks, they could not afford the equipment for once a year use, and had to shut down.
Which was the intent of the commercial growers and stores all along!
There are a LOT of farm direct sales that are stopped each year because of this. We raise our own beef. Have a local butcher process it. Great stuff! But, I cannot sell that meat to anyone, because the butcher shop is not USDA approved. And, they cannot afford to become USDA approved. Too costly.
I can sell a whole live animal to someone, and he can get it butchered, but most people cannot take a whole beef! And, I cannot sell beef cuts. Soooooo, no sales.
This shop kills and cuts between 15 and 20 head of cattle a week, and a few hogs and sheep. Pretty small, but that adds up to a LOT of beef in a year! NOT ONE PERSON SICK. But, because of regulations, they cannot sell, nor can I!
We have regulated ourselves to death.
WAKE UP AMERICA!
