I don't set my roosters loose, I keep them, but again id set them loose before I'd ever slaughter em.
We are going to have to disagree on this subject. I am discussing reality. You are trying to get me to agree to something 'you would do before killing them.'
My point being, you would 'set yours free' before you would kill them yourself. What you fail to realize or accept is that they will meet a HORRIBLE death from a predator.
I happen to think that a humane death at my hands is less cruel than the rooster being killed by another animal.
