They are scary, and I think so many of them don't have a clue.
But, seeing the way chickens are treated being compared to the holocaust, I can see the comparison. People may be offended by seeing chickens compared to people however the mentality of the people behind the controls here seems the same. "We are entitled to treat them this way because we are superior" and in all seriousness, that scares the living crap out of me. Its not about being superior, or the fact that chickens are less intelligent (many people have learning disabilities etc, it doesn't make them any less entitiled to a fullfilled life) but its about the fact that they suffer in the conditions we enforce on them and many people here, seeing a rat or a guinea pig in these conditions would be appalled while they are happy to keep paying people to abuse animals so we can all eat our cheap KFC.
