This is inaccurate to the majority of mass produced chicken. Mature chickens are stunned before being slaughtered. This can be accomplished in three major ways: electrocution, suffocation, or mechanically striking the brain. In many cases the chicken does not suffer pain or distress. What is more valid to criticize is how male chicks are killed. Due to a lack of regulation, farmers frequently toss them into a grinder while still alive and conscious.
Edit:
You shouldn’t crop out the credit to the artist. Brand recognition is essential to their livelihood.
People caring so much about the amount of pain suffered in the slaughter but forgetting in what horrible and inhumane conditions they grow up for months. Also it’s absurd to think that they don’t suffer distress nor pain.
Yes, this is why I stated that chicken slaughtering was free of distress and suffering only in some cases. Farmers are highly incentivized to take shortcuts which result in worse methods and higher error rates. I remember hearing about how pigs are frequently suffocated using CO2 even though using inert gasses or other methods would trigger significantly much less distress.
In which cases exactly they are free of suffering? I can’t understand how you can believe that.
I mean have you seen the automated shakle line before the electric stun bath? Can you imagine yourself being put on this while someone tells you “no worries, you are not suffering”
You can see it in video I shared before, the whole process is shown, from birth to death.
You did, actually. The very last panel of the comic is missing (the panel that puts all the other panels together into a singular image). It’s there in the source post (which I’m still pissed I had to go to reddit to verify).
It highly depends on the process. Suffocation is likely to cause distress while I would doubt that using a stun gun could cause any pain or distress if properly calibrated. Of course, errors are not uncommon in the real world and significant issues occur when stunning is unsuccessful.
Depends on how the suffocation was performed. The body responds violently to it only because of the buildup of CO2, the natural byproduct of respiration that we exhale. Basically, the body knows we are breathing because we aren’t experiencing a build up of the byproduct, i.e. we are inhaling and exhaling.
Yet, if you were to be placed in an environment where the oxygen was replaced with another, inert gas then your body won’t trigger the response, as you are not producing CO2 buildup; you would become lightheaded and eventually just pass out. This is why things like carbon monoxide poisoning is so deadly, because your body doesn’t have the suffocation response to it.

Imagining that the process of being “stunned” isn’t painful or distressing is a bit absurd.

Yes, this is true. The reason I said likely is that CO2 is frequently present in the gas used to suffocate animals.
Which is atrocious considering nitrogen chambers exist. Companies are just too fucking money hungry to be ethical
