DIY HUMANE way to Kill Slaughter Chicken (Stun-kill, Gas)

[Beekissed]

Do you do that before or after you use the vegetable peeler to remove the skin? I always behead before skinning but some folks like that head to hold onto while peeling.

OMG I can't believe you'd skin a live carrot!! Only after the head is removed, of course! That's just too cruel even to think about. I think I'll just eat broccoli now. Or maybe not. I only eat the heads of those anyway.

I always spray my carrots with ether before I skin them.

They're actually all I eat these days... I reached the point where I couldn't stand the black-eyed peas staring up at me accusingly from my plate.

Even potatoes have eyes! The horror of it!

Be sure to rest your carrot carcasses in the fridge for a couple of days, to let rigor mortis pass. And don't feed them 24 hours before slaughtering.

Please.

I prefer the term "harvesting".

But that's a good point -- almost all veggies do soften up after a while in the fridge.

Oh those veggies! Wondered if they can scream when you skin them LOL! Or wilt when you pull them out of the ground.

I tried cutting the head off of a beet once. Never again. That dang thing never did bleed out all the way. What a mess. Ever since I have "harvested" them young and gas them. 400 degrees. Kills the babies really quick, especially with a bit of olive oil and salt

This whole reply is for both aran and the original maker of this thread. the one aran is with on the issue.



No, that is wrong. Kosher way is the only methoid: to chop its neck in one chop and you have to make it's head seperate from the body the first time you chop. Or the chicken is ruined and bad to eat. The chicken killed any other way, is a chicken that suffered before death. So quick-kill is the best.

Yeah I have killed a chicken non-kosher, but that was before I was into judaism. And a duck before judaism. But I didn't convert to judaism for the reason on how to kill chickens, it's just it's interesting way to kill them without feeling regret and the best way to get the best tasting meat. I always been against eating pig, even Muslims are the same way about pigs. They are dirty, disgusting animals.

This thread just gets better and better!

No, decapitation is not the best way. Maybe for you, but it is not the most efficient for bleeding out the meat thorouly. The heart stops too quickly.

Oh, and don't even get me started on pork. (mmm, bacon!) I'm glad you don't eat it, more for me!
