"I can only assume your not aware of it based on your statements suggesting reform which has and is still happening. YOUR OWN STATEMENTS BASED ON YOUR AGE LED ME TO THOSE CONCLUSIONS. If in fact it's NOT the case don't make statements like you did about "reform" and I won't assume anything. You still however never addressed my questions to you about your neighbor statements and my responses to them...thanks"

I did not state my age in "my own statements" but rather a member called me out with a response titled "HOW OLD ARE YOU??" --- which was very annoying, so I stated it. Along with where I live/come from and other little tidbits to "prove I'm a person"

My neighbor keeps 10-12 laying-hens and a few roosters in the same pen. He has another coop which has much more including 5-10 roosters (they are concentrated in this second pen) they fight all darn day, but he doesn't care. Every week (roughly) he goes out there, grabs one, kills it, plucks it, cleans it and cooks it. By this time the scars that the roosters have are completely moot, right? The fact that they escape all day and run around my yard doesn't bother me, the fact that he eats them does not bother me (i'd kill, pluck and clean them myself if it was my chicken). Is he a professional chicken farmer? obviously not, he's feeding his family/pets on eggs and fresh meat. Are his pens too small to house those chickens, yes. Should he be called out on it? probably, that's an awful lot of damned noise for me to deal with.

The point? he has rabbits too, and large snakes (I bet if he had an Afrock it would die of cardio-failure), and l-rd knows what ELSE! His kids are in 4h and stuff like that so they have a menagerie of herps and especially non herps/livestock.

So it isn't when he cleans the chickens that bothers me. It's when they go right inside. I mean I'm a noob and whatnot but are feathers really nutritionally beneficial? But who in the world is ever going to pluck a LIVE chicken! How.... morbid!
