No, my pet birds need space and fresh air and sunshine, and they need chickens to eat. Chickens are high in many of the things that my birds need to eat; very good for them. Since throwing a live chicken in for the other birds to kill and eat would be a bit messy, not to mention very painful for the chicken, I am glad that I can go to the store and buy Mr. Perdues chicken parts, which have been raised specifically for food, and have been killed in a lot less painful way then being torn apart by a bunch of other birds. Perdues way is a lot nicer than Natures way... > > PLEASE JOIN US > > Where: Perdue Chicken Slaughter Plant, US Route 50 > Salisbury, Maryland on the Eastern Shore > > When: Friday-Saturday, May 1-2, 7:30 AM - 7:30 AM >-- >Jonathan Kruger jon@socrates.umd.edu UNIX & VMS Systems Staff > >"Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball." I cant make it that day; can someone pick up a case of the boneless breasts for me? Skin is fine, but boneless is better for the birds. Thanks! Cherry
