Chicken Eaters are Deadliest

  • This post is titled "Chicken Eaters are Deadliest"
  • People this refers to September 2020 when I had gone to buy Chicken and more specifically Country Chicken from a shop.
  • I saw while broiler chicken (live bird) are priced Rs 140 a kilo, country or "desi" chicken are priced Rs 400 a kilo.
  • I ordered a bird and it cost me Rs 500.
  • While the person was busy cleaning it, I saw the cages.
  • In that shop, country chicken was placed on top of broiler ones.
  • And country chicken was very aggressive.
  • When the broiler chicken's head touched its feet, it saw the chicken, like it bent its head to look at it and then attacked it.
  • Assistant in that shop was looking at it as I was looking.
  • Then I thought this is how "cock-fights" must have emerged.
  • People must have seen the aggressive nature of "Desi" or country chickens in cages and then used them in a "ring".
  • Then there are allegations are that razors would be fitted to the feet of the chickens and the it would be bloody battle.
  • And people would have bet money and started betting money on each "cock fighter".
  • Mind you the fate of these chickens would be slaughter anyway.
  • They are just there in the cages waiting for a customer like me to walk in place the order and the shopkeeper would just slaughter them.
  • So there is no harm in the cock fights.
  • We should not include the rights of chickens in "animal rights".
  • Cock fights should not be banned and should rather be encouraged.
  • Surely if we have no objection to killing them and eating them, a fight is a simple thing to do.
  • But the subject of this post is "chicken eaters" are deadliest.
  • Apart from the aggressive nature of desi or country chickens, why we should assume those who eat chicken are deadliest.
  • Reason 1:-
    • Those who eat chicken tend to eat bones or at least chew on them.
    • Chicken bone being soft, I personally swallow them.
    • Difficult to do the same to fish bones or other animal bones which we tend to throw away.
  • Reason 2:-
    • In a function of say 200 people if chicken is served we may need to slaughter at least 100 chickens for food.
    • Whereas if mutton is served, not more than 5 or 6 goats may be needed.
    • Or if beef then only one cow or buffalo perhaps.
    • So chicken eaters treat life with disdain.
    • Just like we assume all human beings are equal (so say all religions no matter what the Caste system says), we must assume all animal lives matter whether goat or bull or chicken or pig.
  • Reason 3:-
    • If instead of Halal meat Jhatka meat is used, then it is easier to cull a lot of chickens.
    • And Jhatka killing is a particularly harsh way of killing where the head of chicken is slaughtered in one swift movement.
    • Halaal meat implies a small cut then the chicken struggles till it dies. They usually put it inside a drum.
    • Jhatka meat is more possible for chicken then goat as it would be difficult to cut the head of the goat in one swift movement.
  • Reason 4:-
    • Chicken is devoid of controversy. Means no religions have objection on people consuming it.
    • So people who consume chicken go about it unabashedly.
    • While those who have mutton or beef may have only on special days or festivals.
    • A chicken eater can "look forward" to having "an endless supply of meat".
    • His days and nights would be "consumed by the love and craving of consuming meat"
  • Thus, think about it. There may be more reasons but I cannot recollect at this moment.
  • The way forward is to consume any meat or anything in moderation.
  • By the way I have began or restarted consuming chicken once more.
  • I had Chicken Kabab or pakoda last week and hence what I had stated earlier that I will not consume chicken directly is rescinded.
  • Whatever I said was not written in stone and hence it is flexible, debatable and amenable.
