Humane Society Sues Over Poultry Slaughter

Chickens and turkeys should be covered by the same law as cows, pigs and other animals when they are slaughtered, the Humane Society of the United States said in a lawsuit filed Monday against the Agriculture Department.
Sounds like the birds should get a class-action suit organized.

Anyhoo, after reading this article, I think I'll serve brisket for Thanksgiving.
Studies show that birds defecate and inhale when they are stunned, contaminating the water of the stun bath as well as birds themselves, the Humane Society argued.
I mean, who doesn't?
