Chilliwack animal cruelty

[GordonH]

Have grown and slaughtered and processed hundreds of chickens - from fryers to roasters and then to stewing hens - all grown on pasture with some commercial feed to supplement. Most all were heritage breeds and all dual purpose - eggs and meat. Breast and legs were pretty well equal in weight - no bowed legs, scalded breasts and the flavor was terrific!! The breast meat was definitely a clear white while the thighs and legs were a dark beige with a relative abundance of fat that was a pearly yellow. We rendered down the excess fat for frying and baking. If you ever have a chance to eat a REAL pasture raised chicken you will be pleasantly surprised at the amazing difference between it and store-bought.

I hear ya flamingfingers my sister raises chickens & turkeys. I have not had store bought turkey in years

QueenK should remember. Who or what was the name of the forum abattoir from a few years back? It's totally escaping me. She was a she.

Mechanized farming is brutal. I'd like like to find these farm to table sources.

Suggestions? Have no idea where to start looking.

I wish Castanet wasn't so hard to post pictures on or I would show you what REAL chicken looks like. The meat is purple, and the fat is yellow.

Check your PM

I echo that. Shouldn't have to resize pics or use a hosting service.
Just saying.
But, off topic.

Kelowna's Farmers Market is a great place to start.

Castanet and other similar venues sadly do not allow meat producers to advertise their products so

one has to do a bit of digging.

Many local butchers offer locally produced meats as well.

There are often ads on bulletin boards in the local feed stores too.

“I don’t want to work for a company that has people who treat chickens like that,” she said.

Okay - I'm not understanding this. She quits her job after the video came to light. The company doesn't want workers that treat animals like that yet she quits? Was she part of the problem or could she have helped with the problem?

Hummm...her voice was heard in one of the videos?

How can someone who was present not hear a chicken screaming from getting its legs ripped off?

Even in a din of a noisy barn there is some noise you can tell is different from the norm.

If she knew her fellow staffers were kicking animals out of frustration did she report it? Did she intervene to stop it?

There's more to this...

The employees should be charged, not just fired.
If they had did these acts with a human, PRISON time for sure.

You are absolutely correct Coco...those employees should be charged and an investigation

conducted to see who all knew about this and perhaps stayed silent not reporting or intervening.

The shift supervisor ought to fired if hasn't already. I've been one and higher many times,and this shouldn't have gone unnoticed. It's the job. To watch the employees.

The supervisor was fired.
