Animal 0 Posté(e) le 21 octobre 2005 The Ottawa Citizen Tuesday, October 18, 2005 Re: Europe rushes to protect its poultry, Oct. 15. Every time there is a story about avian flu, it is always about the consequences for humans. We talk so freely about thousands of birds being "destroyed," but the images I see of people throwing chickens into bags like yesterday's garbage are extremely cruel and disturbing. There are humane methods such as controlled atmosphere killing (CAK) that would ensure these birds have painless deaths. Yet authorities choose barbaric ways of slaughtering these animals. All animals can feel fear and pain and the fact that we choose to eat chickens or pigs and not dogs or cats does not mean chickens and pigs deserve such cruel treatment. We can learn a lot from the endurance and integrity of chickens, geese and ducks which have a hellish life from the minute they are born until they end up on someone's plate (not mine, since I am a vegetarian). I am also starting to believe humans deserve the avian flu and the horrible consequences of it for being such destructive, greedy and mean creatures.
