they go into a hot water bath, to loosen the feathers, then through a mechanical plucker which looks like a mini car wash. Then lines of underpaid workers manually remove what the machines missed, then into a cold water bath to chill them quickly.
it's one of the vilest environments I've worked in, and I wasn't even on the production line.
too much information? |

There hung by there feet live, After being stunned in a bath of brine with an electric current there heads are removed. Then they go through the deplucker which is basically like a car wash as said. |

i think anyone who thinks the mass killing of animals for food is all lullabies and blissful happy times is kidding themselves.
we have driven the industry to work quicker to meet the demands placed on them. It is not all their fault (greed for profit may play a part too).
most animals are stunned before they are killed. there is little dignity in what is done after death for any animal but if you wish to eat meat then you choose to accept that. |

well you could go back to having them in your back yard and kill them yourself then gut them then pluck them.
they'd be tough as old boots as all that juicy chick chick is less than 15 weeks old and never been outside.
