Animal cruelty taped at KFC supplier

"What will prevent animals from being tortured is audits of slaughterhouses, having experts go and visit these farms, visit these suppliers on an unannounced basis so workers know that they're being monitored and workers know if they abuse an animal they're going to pay the price for it," Shannon told CNN."

Never going to happen under the Bush Administration. We can't even manage suprise FDA inspections to insure that the meat is free of disease.

"In the video, titled "KFC's House of Horror," employees at the plant were seen stepping on the birds, kicking them and slamming them against walls and floors."

And that's worse than throwing them in a pit of hot grease?

Wish I could agree with you about the Bush Administration Billz. Frankly the status quo has been the status quo with the FDA for years and years now. Money talks and accountability walks everywhere right now.

As far as this cruelty i'm sickened by it and I hope these guys have their private parts stomped on and slammed into concrete walls.

Okay JD, but it's never going to change under Bush. He is a war president, after all, and chickens aren't exactly patriotic.

*chuckles* Well I suppose chickens aren't very patriotic.

At least we know who's been choking the chicken!

Well unless you're a real sadist, most people wait until AFTER the chicken is dead before throwing it in hot grease. The chickens in the video were still alive.

I was half joking.

How do they normally kill the chickens by the way?

Heh heh...you have no idea. This is prevalent under ANY administration...you dolt. Do you really think this is a function of a Republican Administration? If so you're undeniably ignorant.

That's some repugnant shit.
I hope Jason Alexander hangs for this!

I bet you're glad you're not scared of heights being up there.

Kronos doesn't seem to think that the Bush administration hasn't pursued an attack agenda against any regulatory agency. Why does he post such dumb stuff?

So, what does the ridiculous above statement have to do with any of the other Administrations who have done NOTHING down these lines?

I'd say zero. So singling out one Administration is irresponsible at best.

And I post because I still can. How long is another thing.

Like I'm not at the same altitude as the idiots who post such stupid shit. Hey, at least I'm not one of the elite on the private board.

How dare they kick chickens IN A SLAUGHTERHOUSE.

You guys realize that about ten minutes after these chickens are "kicked and stomped" that they are slaughtered, right.

And then shipped off to restaurants where we eat them. Next time i

Yeah, but I bet all that abuse makes them tasty and delicious!

Taking into account that you too one day will die, would that make it alright for me to coem over to your place and kick your ass?

Or to be less hyperbolic, would it be okay for guards to torture death row inmates?

On another matter, doesn't the fact that there are people taking pleasure in torturing small animals scare you?

Not as much as humans beheading other humans on video.

Odd how chicken stomping gets NBC Nightly News coverage but Americans having their heads sawed-off is shielded from sensitive American eyes.

I may enjoy eating chicken, but that's just atrocious.

And what's with the awful music those people were listening to?

Chop off their heads.

Just be thankful we live in a world where we have our meat pre-prosessed. If we all had to hunt and process our own meat there'd be a lost less overweight people in this world.

I can't believe you even went there...dude....seriously....why?

Because it's the truth and he makes a good point?

The chickens getting thrown against the wall is really bad, but when I see the guy stomping... no wait... jumping on the chickens it makes me laugh. It's so ridiculous.

How 'bout we just process the overweight?

They need to make it twelve and fire the guy who forces the workers to listen to bad 80s hair metal and thereby sending them into this chicken-kickin' frenzy.

Heh heh...

The way people (and not necessarily here on these boards) act over the treatment of a chicken should be reserved for the treatment of people. PETA can do some good for the world, but an expose on the treatment of chickens inside a slaughterhouse is not one of them. Now, if this were a tape over the terrible and unhealthy conditions of food being fed to people, then that is different, however they'd never photograph that because they want the world to be vegetarians, so in fact, they'd get a kick out of that.

In Panama, as a young kid, I saw chickens killed by people grabbing them by the head/neck, and moving them like a lasso so their neck would snap. Then they cut the head off.

I was shocked, but I didn't complain when I was eating the delicious 'sancocho de gallina' (~chicken soup)

The Soylent Green Corporation would like to have a word with you...

You people follow some of the stupidest logic.
There are worse things going on in the world, therefore it's stupid to feel outrage over this kind of abuse? Why not feel outrage over both? Why must one be exclusive of the other? Ironically, this was the same shit Devin was pulling in the thread about the hostage beheading. There have been many other horrible deaths in Iraq, he argued, so why get worked up over a televised beheading?
Such bullshit.

The outrage amongst TV news viewers is probably about the same for both types of incidences. But this has become a media question: Why is it ok to show chicken stomping but not a full viewing of the beheading of an innocent American?

I'll tell you why: Because public opinion just might be swayed by the viewing of an American having his head sawed off while we hear praises to God and the victim's esophagus gurgling as the knife goes slowly through(in case there are readers who haven't viewed/heard the tape of the Berg murder).

If the viewing public saw a split-screen viewing of both vids they'd be naturally more outraged at the human beheading than they would the stomping of a chicken.

I like chickens, they make for wonderful dinners when seasoned right. And I think anyone who displays this sort of savegery against animals for no reason - other than their sick twisted self-gratifying motives - should be taken out and beaten unconscious, watered down, then beaten again. I hate animal abusers.

But why does the media think it's ok for the kids to see a chicken stomping but not the masked face of the enemy slowly hacking an innocent's head off?

Show both...or none. Otherwise you're just trying to sway public opinion and not simply reporting.

"...because it looks bad on the President..."

No, it's not the President's fault that wacko Islamo-fascists have been killing infidels for a generation. They've just taken a different tack these days, that's all.
