[violeteye1]

cute video i have chickens of my own so i have a whole album of pictures just like this :)

[lifeinheavenforeever]

Like I am just like so happy you made this video.

It shows how far away from nature man has become.

I mean like,I remember reading an article awhile ago how a man on the NYC transit subway kissed a chicken,and like everybody thought he was crazy.

Its just so sad how we hurt the chickens.

Keep up the good work.

God bless you

[ZazukeChan]

My dad has chickens and raises them and cares for them and he always was around chickens

[CDLver]

Chickens are the most delightful little creatures!

Love them. Don't eat them.

[DarkTripods07]

Cute!

i eat chickens some times but i only eat free rage and free rang eegs to, i dont want to eat a chicken thats been put into a big wherehouse when they cant move and being unhappy and unhealfy and also maybe been beaten up arrg i hate fatchy frams!

[peepchick101]

Eating free-range eggs and meat doesn't mean the animals lived a good life, unfortunately. The male chickens are still ground up alive days after their birth, they are all cruelly de-beaked, fed the remains of other dead animals, and given growth-hormones.

It's sad to know but chickens are one of the most abused animals on the planet. They are even killed in some of the most horrific ways.

They are scalded/burned alive and there is no government laws to protect chickens or turkeys.

[DarkTripods07]

oh man i never tought off that =[

[philliesorca]

omg theyre so cute!

[porolita22]

Aww I love chickens... they are so cute!

[dreamwildly]

Great vid! Your chickens are beautiful! Oh, and I love your Sea Shepherd beanie!

[peepchick101]

Thank you very much :)

Yes, Chickens are great little ones to have around the house. We set up a dog run pen inside my living room where the chickens roosted at night... it was nice to have them so close! Plus, we think they enjoyed watching TV!

[zoelock]

Awesome. They're so cutee

[MrsJesusworshipper]

kay so you own pets yet your vegan, that doesnt make sense, your being a hypocrite

[emofreak28]

pets are friends. its not like shes eating them.

[MrsJesusworshipper]

but isnt she vegan? arent vegans against the enslavement of animals?

[peepchick101]

I am vegan, yes. I don't "own" my animal friends. They share my house with me. They aren't my slaves. They don't do tricks, they are free to go outside/inside and play with each other. Plus, they would've been eaten (considering all seven chickens were from intensive factory farms) by now. My chickens are extremely important to me. I pay more vet bills for my chickies than most people do for their dogs, please understand.

[MrsJesusworshipper]

Why don't you let your chickens go into the wild where they belong if you believe that then. or just eat them and their eggs theyre worthless stupid animals duh

[RingneckDoveFan]

Chickens are domestic animals...there is no such thing as a wild chicken..

[MrsJesusworshipper]

Ugh, yes there are, do you think chickens have always been domestic? The chickens we use for food first arose in south china.

[RingneckDoveFan]

They are domestic now.

Get over it.

[peepchick101]

For being a "Jesus Worshipper," you are not being very kind to others. In fact, you're being quite rude. These chickens were born in captivity, like a kitten or puppy. They cannot fend for themselves in the wild. If they could, it would be lovely to let them go, but I don't see how that could help them. Animals do indeed have feelings and thoughts. Saving their lives is very important to most humane people.

[MrsJesusworshipper]

and god said that animals were humans' slaves to eat, why would we go against that?

[cujosdad]

Mrs.Jesusworshipper

"and god said that animals were humans' slaves to eat"

I think that even those who happen to believe in your chosen Bronze age mythology based religion would have a problem with that particular translation...care to throw out a couple of verses backing it up?

[peepchick101]

I don't believe God ever said that.. In fact, I know it's not in the Bible. (I went to 13 years of Catholic school so I'm pretty familiar with the Bible.) In fact, when the Bible was written, very little meat, other than lamb and fish, were consumed. People lived off of fruits, nuts, bread, and other "natural" foods. They certainly didn't treat their farmed animals as we do today, either. They were much more humane to their herds. It is wrong to inflict pain on others, including animals.

[vcmollica]

Well, because... "we can love irrational creatures out of charity, if we regard them as the good things that we desire for others, in so far, to wit, as we wish FOR THEIR PRESERVATION, to God's honor and man's use; thus too does God love them out of charity" (Summa Theologica, II-II, 25, 3). I'll concede St. Thomas was not a veg, but he certainly would not have reduced animals t food-slaves. Check your Tradition, Jesus-worshipper.

[vcmollica]

Oh, yeah, and if you don't like Tradition...

"And shall I not spare Ninive, that great city, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons, that know how to distinguish between their right hand and their left, and many beasts?" (Job 4:11)

Nice video, Niki! :)

[peepchick101]

Thanks very much Leo for the good quotes! Nice work! :)

[MudskipperLover]

Awesome! We`re getting some chickens in the spring (as pets) I`m so excited :D

[RingneckDoveFan]

Cool video, you might want to add how those chicks were killed. Since someone didn't kill them, they were fed to an animal.

[peepchick101]

Thanks! Good point, two were given away and died but seven went to an animal for food.
