Jamie's Fowl Dinners (Chickens) Part 1

If your not prepared to kill a chicken or at least know how it's done and you think it's disgusting, then don't eat the chicken, as simple as that. this episode allows the public to know the process of how the chicken gets on their plate. You respect your food more and appreciate the hands that brought the food to your plate. Well done Jamie!

Well done, Jamie, you're one of the few, who show what reality is like.

and his only showing the tip of the icberg

Why couldn't the male chicks be transfered to the meat farming industry, or just given away or something?

good show and well done jamie for showing the reality

some people are really to immature to watch programs like this. His motive is to shock, and in many cases thats the only way to attract peoples attention and for them to start taking action. Trust me, what he did was nothing compared to what some chickens have to suffer with. Im a meat eater, but i still think animals should be reared in a healthy environment.

Kevkevinkev - hear hear. I believe very strongly that if we want to eat meat we should know where it comes from and be prepared to kill it ourselves, PERSONALLY - at least once - so we all know what's involved. I have done so with chickens, ducks and pigs in my wife's home village. One thing I can say tho' is that they all roam freely and are not caged. Respect to Jamie for showing this.

lol I feel really horrible for giggling at the chicks falling off the conveyor belt

Far from being disgusted at the killing of the male chicks, I actually thought that the carbon dioxide asphyxiation was really a relatively compassionate method of killing the male chicks and I'm surprised that's it's such a standard practice worldwide. From all I've read about their other methods, I would have expected much worse from the livestock industry.

Is it really? I heard that the standard practice in the US is to throw them in a woodchipper. No idea how true that is.
