International Respect For Chickens Day 2022

When I was a youngster there were farm animals in my midst. Among those there were various fowl including ducks and chickens. Some of the chickens were intimidating because they wanted you to think they could kick your butt if need be. It was an idyllic life where I knew my place and respected their boundaries.

I recall that the chicken houses operated on my uncle's farm became a murderous rampage by him and his family as they harvested dozens of birds to put in the freezer.

I also recall one day the chicken people came early and caught them in the act.

I don't know what those consequences were but it was a shocking spectacle which made me cry.

Nowadays I am pretty brazen to random acts of violence. Who wouldn't be with children popping caps in anyone and everyone due to the ineffective nature of both their parenting (or lack thereof) as well as law inforcement failure to intervene prior to the fact.

Today is International Respect For Chickens Day. It is a day to promote compassionate treatment of chickens and other domestic fowl. We have a chicken processing plant in the middle of the river front resort area because the insipid inbred management of the city hasn't forced their relocation. I don't exactly get the idea of the place being very merciful and the offal odor eminating from Sunset BL at the Jarvis Klapman bridge screams of death and decay.

So when you pick that fryer out out of the cooler at the grocery store you might want to give how that bird got there a moment of consideration.

I really don't think United Poultry Concerns has true compassion for the plight of food animals.
