Kentucky Fried Cruelty, Abuse of chickens?

[Tala]

Alright, so, this afternoon, I had KFC- And one of my friends kindly informed me of something. Before we get to my actual debate question, I'd like to point you in the direction of the videos I was shown. The first link is for those who have queasy stomachs- And it gets the point across... The second one is for people who can stomach it, and want to know every bit of the extent the chickens go through.

Link one- If you can't see it at first, go to preferences and switch to quicktime.

Link Two

Alright, as you can see from those...You'll get what I want to ask about.

Why is this cruelty allowed? And no, I'm not talking about management: Even the WORKERS...The ones who do the needless abusing... The "abuse for fun", I guess...Why would they not be fired and replaced?

This is discusting. I had to watch the second one because for my computer the first did not work.
So sad... so disguisting.

OMG!! I love chickens! (Don't ask.) How could they be so cruel? D>

I know a farm that does something like this. Not cruel, but it still makes me sad. They have hugely fat chicks that aren't even slightly cute. The chicks 'vanish' when they get all their feathers. Most likely turned ito a tasty treat. I don't even visit them.

I'm strange in what I eat- I only eat beef, and pork, and other things that don't have a BUTTLOAD of babies, when I have to. As in, when my mom cooks it and there's nothing else to eat.

I'm much more of a fish/chicken/other avians person. I eat mostly nothing but avians and fish for my meat. So, seeing this? Makes me tempted to eat nothing except fish and maybe eggs.

I love fish. I don't know why. Maybe because it doesn't have any fat xD But also because it makes me sad o eat meat D: I won't eat venison, and I won't eat baby of any animal.

On the other hand, I am partial to chicken fingers xD But seeing this made me not want to eat any D:

I'll avoid this for the most part..since well...I have some opinions etc that it's just probably not wise to vocalize, just due to the fact it could spark more discussion than, quite frankly...I care to get into..however:

Fish...(some semi-graphic images)

Basically -all- animals are raised in conditions similar to chicken, in the majority of cases. Of course beaks getting clipped doesn't apply to fish, but dont think that fish magically get a wonderful life before your dinner plate, unless of course, you catch them yourself, in which case, well, they might *shrugs*....aqua farms are as bad as most other farms... and most farms, or at least, owned by corporations, are awful...and quite frankly, that's just the reality of things..because it's how to make money off of meat....but like I said...not getting into it xP

EDIT:
This short clip also gives you an idea of the room they're given...not very different from the chickens, really xP...

I should be specific. My dad fishes. We eat FRESH fish, straight from the Tennessee river. I hate the taste of processed fish- It just doesn't have the same taste as fresh fish... Especially catfish. The different avians are the only think I don't eat fresh, and...That's only because...I don't think you can abuse chickens getting eggs, can you?

Anyway, I won't eat KFC. Talking to my friend, he'd said that other fast food chains aren't as violent with theirs- Especially if they serve something besides chicken.

Well...yeah, wild caught fish aren't mistreated of course xP....but for the most part, processed fish, really are..just like most processed meat...

annnd for the record, yeah, chickens do get abused for eggs... most of them are kept inside, in cramped containers their entire lives, up on mesh bottomed cages, so the feces doesnt' have to be cleaned as often, which leads to major infection and wound on their feet...and well...it gets pretty bad sometimes...
