Because the pigs killed for meat in the store are not the same as the ones we raise...

More like out of sight out of mind

Hmm, that's true. I wouldn't "know" the pigs like I do if i raised them

My friend with house chickens, lets her birds have chicken now and then. She said she tells them "It's not a relative."

Omg lol

I heard this story once of this chicken that lived for years with no head. Still alive.

But i found it really hard to believe

The chicken had part of the head--the ax missed the brain

I have been shopping with DH, put all that away and i have been cutting and painting boards for the lean-to . Had to come in for a break so thought i would stop by for a while.

Apparently it is true. A chicken in the 40s lived 18 months after

Yeah, i found the story after. Mike the Headless Chicken aka Miracle Mike

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_the_Headless_Chicken

But it is still creepy and weird. He mostly didn't have a head. And no eyes or beak or anything. So kinda inhumane imo


Post mortem
It was determined that the axe had missed the jugular vein[6] and a clot had prevented Mike from bleeding to death. Although most of his head was severed, most of his brain stem and one ear were left on his body. Since basic functions (breathing, heart rate, etc.) as well as most of a chicken's reflex actions are controlled by the brain stem, Mike was able to remain quite healthy. This is a good example of central motor generators enabling basic homeostatic functions to be carried out in the absence of higher brain centres.[6]
