I'd like to raise chickens someday. This involves some not so pleasant things. When a friend was looking for some help slaughtering some of their chickens I decided to volunteer. I figure I had better know what I am getting into with this chicken thing. I think everyone should have to slaughter at least one animal to experience first hand the life that is taken each time we eat meat.
I did everything from catching the chicken in the coop to preparing it for storage. It was something else to directly cause the death of such an innocent and beautiful creature. Horrifying, yet necessary. Overall, it was a positive learning experience but I don't think I am going to eat chicken for a little while.
