@0000kris0000 its a common fact once the brain stem is severed the pulses from any stimulation become dorment, thus why effects of trauma leave the body in abnormal positions and or why the brain can still control the eyes after beheading. the nerves stop at the point of contact, therefore outer limbs electrical pulses fall short of reaching the brain. thanks for the video anyways:)
@crazymoo56 Oh come now. If you chopped off a chicken's head for dinner, and it survived, you would find it as fascinating as that family did. It wasn't a plaything. They cared for it very well, and it was quite a bit more trouble than an ordinary pet. Sounds like they went wrong feeding it whole corn though. Cornmeal would have been a better choice.
@crackerstolemybike Just trying to make stuff out of an abbreviated word. If you didnt laugh, then it's not funny. Well, never really meant anything from it.
@callum5593 he cut off only part of the brain is what i heard ... so the hind brain which controls motor functions and things like breathing and heart beat was left behind and the part of the brain tht helped it feel pain was gone :o tht is my theory but i dont really know
My pysch professor was talking about this chicken today. She said the only reason it lived was because the medulla was not cut off. The medulla is what controls the heart rate, breathing and most funtions of the body.
i think it wasnt actually headless, i think that most of the brain and cranium is gone leaving only the reptilian brain so in theory, its functioning at the level of a fruitfly. fruitflies barely even have a brain, more like a nub of neurons behind each eye and 2 nubs for navigation and muscle control. yet they too eat, drink, breathe, poop, mate, kill, run,or hide.the rest of the brain could be said to be needed only for higher functions,including consciousness,but not maintenance and motility.
@seladnas2007 Worms in that sense can reproduce through mitosis, though most of the time the ninja spider that lives in our garden'll eat them before they can multiply.
@imsorrylin from what i see in wikipedia and some videos, the owner feed him a mixture of milk and water via eyedropper, so the owner just inject it to its body
Why keep a headless chicken alive for 4 years? Errr let's cut of your head but keep your brain stem and see how long you can live lolol food through a tube!
I seriously suspect FOWL PLAY! I think Mike's owner possibly choked his OWN chicken-and made up that story later out of embarrassment! Besides-who could live for YEARS without any HEAD?!!! I know I couldn't! I hate going a WEEK without it!!!!
@BaselineRaver99 I think he means that the chicken lived for 4 years, longer than any headless chicken has. Most headless chickens only survive for a minute. :)
@chris88 I was thinking the same thing. There have been many cases of people being nearly decapitated and surgeons successfully reattaching the head. Plus all of the successful limb replants and transplants. So it wouldn't surprise me if Mike the Chicken had existed nowadays, that doctors would be able to do the same.
it still has the brain and spinal cord so there's no reason why it can't keep on living. it's like when a person survives after being shot in the face with a shotgun. since the chicken's brain is much smaller it looks headless.
God those owners are fucking stupid they wanted to kill him so why didn't they? why would they keep him alive, kill him put him out of his misery how would they like to live with there fucking head cut off its touture
@Evab3vA Yes but it still has a brain stem and one ear and obviously it knows it exists if it can still walk around,its not completely brain dead if it can walk around and breath by itself.
@miathecat100 If the brain wasn't even on the chicken, it should not have been able to feel any pain. Mostly what kept the chicken running around was mostly the nervous system which supposedly is not in the chicken's head.
@miathecat100 The thing is that in order for something to be torturous, their needs to be a cognitive thought process. With no head, I doub't very seriously the chicken felt tortured. If something were to attack during those four years, he would not have known it was coming and therefore never experienced the fright that comes with an impending death which is the worst form of torture. They did him a favor. He became famous. Had festivals in his name's sake. And most of all, it's just an animal.
@miathecat100 Technically, the brain is dies after a couple seconds, and the body is now a chunk of meat just moving in it's own. You want suffering? Slit its throat and hold it while it bleeds out. That's suffering.
Get your head out your ass and look at the real world
@LuyenDarkness Ok asshole i have fucking no idea why your fighting with on this obviously it would have been better to kill it right then and there then to leave it alive for a year. And i don't now what you mean bye "look at the real world" unless your refering to humans as being horrible evil creatures at times.
@miathecat100 The Chicken isn't exactly "alive". It has no brain so therefore it doesn't not have feeling, cannot feel pain, cannot hear, cannot see, cannot think. The chicken is presumably dead, but is still moving.
That's the kinds of chicken you could keep on choking.........:D
