  Cherry, you is one sick pup, and ignorant like the rest. If
we were raising chickens only for feeding your birds, we wouldnt
have to store them in sick cages and waste about 100 million
gallons of water daily, and waste many more times the grain
to produce the chicken energy, etc. etc. ad nauseum.
The whole point is not in the killing of chickens but also 
 the waste and sickness bred by the industry as a whole. If
you must eat chickens, then keep them in your own backyard 
and kill them quickly and painlessly instead of supporting
the bullshit which occurs as a natural consequence of your 
desire to have convenient neat little (styrofoam) packages
waiting for yuou at Giant. Also, it is apparent that you 
give no regard to the feeling of chickens.. thats something
that you need to arrive at yourself-I cant teach it to you, but are
you aware that Perdue's factory conditionsa are deploarable.
A large number of his employees are black women who cant support
themselves in other ways and thus are forced to endure the
nervous system destruction that inflicts a huge percentage 
of his workers? Did you know that he used organized crime to
destabilize a workers protest? Did you know that he killed 
someone while driving on the wrong side of the highway
while intoxicated and payed huge sums of money to go
free and have the story as suppressed as possible(Obviously,
it didnt toatlly work)?
  Perdue wouldnt have gotten so high if he couldnt step
on little footstools like yourelf.
