This is why the US needs a Quota System. Quota allows for farmers to get an income which covers the cost of raising the animals such they can receive the best feed, environment, and life possible. By forcing farmers to compete for the lowest dollar, animals suffer. Capitalism and Farm Animal welfare do not fully integrate, and Quota allows Canada the ability to humanly produce chicken, compensate the farmers fairly, and deliver a quality product to the consumer. The same goes for the Dairy!

I have personally seen pilgrims pride workers throwing live chickens in Lufkin, Texas. The stories I have heard from workers of what goes on inside the plant would disgust Larry Flint and make Cor. Sanders give up eating chicken. Everything from animal cruelty, drugs, and sex go on INSIDE the plant. I have seen employees drinking outside on there lunch breaks. This is a fact.

I don't care about abused chickens, as long as I get to continue eating them. I love some fried chicken. I love peta.

No, it's all real, I've seen this in the undercover videos of PETA, where there IS incidents of kicking, throwing, slamming, and stomping chickens in cruelty. If you don't believe me, then go to PETA
