i used to breed chickens, ducks, rabbits, quail & pigeons. we killed them all in the same way. neck breaking is quick and the most humane method available.
muslims use halal (throat slitting), which is barbaric imo and very difficult to watch, especially when they do it to a larger animal and you see it thrashing around in pain as its blood spills on to the floor. i've seen cows, goats and camels suffer it, they're aware of what is happening & they die slowly and in pain. the metal anguish must be terrible. remember most of the world still slit animal's throats and let them bleed to death, thanks to islam it is the only way they can butcher an animal.
breaking a bird's neck is as good as it gets for a farmed chicken. to halal a chicken it is put in a machine upside down, there are blades that slit its throat and strip its feathers off at the same time. this is a painful way to die. i've seen it happen many times, whenever i went to the chicken shop to buy one i had to sit and watch it get tortured to death in an evil machine. then you get given the chicken in a bag and take it home to eat. thats bloody difficult. also consider that this chicken spent its whole life in a cage the same size as itself so it could never move an inch. thats the harsh reality for the vast majority of chickens on this planet.
eating a uk farmed chicken is easy in comparison. in my mind the chickens farmed intensively in the uk are very lucky, and in comparison to most chickens around the world they live a very privledged life and die a very humane death. yet the hippies still complain?! thats ignorance for you.
personally i dont have a problem with intensive chicken farming. the birds are blissfully unaware that their lives could be better, so in their mind they want for nothing. all their needs are satisfied.
now compare that to me, i want more, i've seen there is more out there, i can never be satisfied with my life no matter how well i do. surely my metal state is going to be worse than a chicken that has (as far as its concerned) the best possible life it could have.
on the other hand, i dont see why a bit of environment enrichment cant be more common, a few bales of hay dont cost much but can make the bird's lives better.
