Saw a report on TT this evening and Jamie Oliver kills and dresses a chook on TV…. ‘pose to be pretty (wrong choice of word) confronting when he does it.
Shows how its done at the killing factory………

Seeing the guy last week being cut open and seeing his body…. didn’t bother me….but a chook being killed will:(
But I want to see how the “other” chooks live and are treated.

if he kills a free range rooster i’ll be watching closely to see how he tenderises it. marinated in lemon juice overnight?

Pretty sure a free range rooster needs to be killed before it starts to crow…. hormones have kicked in by then and they have toughened up.
Years ago I read about some artist bloke, in England I think, who was into very confronting stuff. He held a big dinner party and then when everyone was seated at this lavish table he presented them each with a live pigeon on a covered plate, and said they had to kill their own dinner.

chuckle – aspro is safe – but on the other hand he is – ummm – effective – so he will be having chicks – some of them might be roosters. and lets face it – its hard to be sure until they crow.
I will be watching and I think we all should because it might shock us all into doing something about the inhuman way these and othe animals are treated—and maybe try and do something about it—-DON“T bury your heads in the sand please
IF you want to watch shocking you can see a documentry on the way we treat animals called EARTHLINGS. its free to watch on google video. It goes for 1.5 hours. Just do a google search and it will come up first.
This will make you a bit sick on the stomach but an educational watch
I am unable to watch that as I am on dial up but I would if I could we should all be made awarw of this—thanks for that though
grassy its on tv.
What is on TV and when is it on and what station VG

jamie olivers thing is on tonight on Ten
I have already cried twice and Jamie has made the queche and its only 30 mins into the show.
I’d love to go and hug my sleep hens this moment.
It was very upsetting, and a real eye-opener. It was made in the UK, but I guess the conditions for battery hens would be the same here. I won’t ever buy anything but free range eggs or chicken again, I have been buying them mostly for a while, but from now on it’ll be 100% of the time.
Don’t know how I’ll get to sleep tonight.
on a paradoxically positive note….their miserable lives don’t last very long.

Yes the fouls here are going through the very same misery—I think Jamie has done a good thing bringing this to the attention of many that didn’t have a clue—All these animals—go through hell—including Pigs etc etc

some serious ethical questions about how these animals come to be treated as ‘commodities’ and how come the consumer is so divorced from the whole process.
anyrate jamie is turning into an organic crusader. ….. and that bloke with the funny surname made an appearance as well.
I watched part of it and have the rst recorded and will watch tonight—I think Jamie is doing a great service

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall? (Haven’t watched it yet but have it recorded.)
Hugh is a huge campaigner for stopping the current chicken farming and processing practices in England.

Good about time something was done
Didn’t really show me much that I didn’t already know.

Me either but there seems to be a lot that never had a clue
Years ago I knew this sort of cruelty went on in the UK, but I didn’t realise it was continuing to this day to the same degree, I innocently thought that conditions must have improved over the years. WRONG.Of course it would be the same here I know.
It’s b******* disgusting.
There is another side to certified organic as well. My nephew’s inlaws owned a certified organic poultry farm and they were very strict with the regulations. If a bird got sick it was culled, even if it was something that could be treated, because being certified rules out drugs.
Most backyard poultry keepers would treat a sick bird and then follow the with holding period for the drug.
I think he’s doing an awesome thing too.
I did think the bit at the end when he killed the meat chicken was a bit brief though – maybe it’s different in the UK but I read a book by Peter Singer (can’t remember the name) about standard intensive animal production, and the way he described the usual factory type method of slaughtering chickens in the US and Aus was a LOT less pleasant than what Jamie did last night.
I couldn’t convince OH to read this book because he loves his meat and doesn’t want to feel uncomfortable about eating it, so I was very glad he wanted to watch Jamie’s show.
Arvo:)
I found the show quite upsetting to the stage I didn’t sleep all that well. I knew the cooks were killed to be plucked…… but I didn’t know they killed little chickens. I cried when I saw that:(
I know of the cages and it’s always upset me……. I like the idea of sun, dirt and a mum for chooks…or a dad, for that matter.
P.S…… making chicken pie from a couple of raw chicken boobies…..sshhh

I made every attempt to avoid the show. I know what happens to chooks and I didn’t need it verified in glorious living colour. I don’t eat chicken or eggs but I certainly don’t condone cruelty to any thing or any one.

agreed – they are living beings – even jamies ‘better living conditions’ didn’t seem good enough to me – chooks need light and scratching – how anyone can seriously lock them in a shed for all their lives ????
I didn’t watch it but there are some comments from some who did here: http://forum.backyardpoultry.com/viewtopic.php?t=7960913 :)
