When did we normalize butchering these gentle creatures for consumption? 😢

@@bdancestars When we got hungry.

It often, by the way, like dogs - is influenced on the breed of chickens. The breed seramas love humans - and have always been bred not for meat or eggs but to be pets. Aggressiveness has been bred out of them. In fact they have what is called “Table shows” sort of like a dog show - and if a male acts in any way aggressively to the other males he’s around he is disqualified. They are also judged on looks and posture. It’s like the antithesis of cock fighting. They are very small birds. The hens about the size of a dove.

We had multiple roosters from different breeds and they were all nice to both humans and their hens guess we got lucky 😊 Although we once had a rooster which got hatched from our own chicken's eggs, it failed miserably as he and a hen were the only hatchlings who managed to survive. When it got in his teen years he would often attack my very pink boots (i was like 8 years old at the time) and at those moments his father protected me by correcting his son. When the father died years later his son had to take over and it had turned into a very kind rooster just like his father, never attacking me again. His father teached him well and honestly his father was and still is my fav rooster not just because he protected me but it was our very first rooster and he was the kindest of them all both to humans and his hens. Theyre both dead for years now but im glad to have had such roosters, the ones we have now just feel different.

It is genetic. I have owned dozens of roosters and some are nice. Some are mean. Higher quality bred ones are less likely to be mean

Yes same here. I had a few roosters growing up and they weren't nice 🙁

I feel fortunate because growing up, all of our roosters were so king and sweet. But then, they were all sons of the first rooster we got that was incredibly docile and kind. So maybe that's why.

You are angels in this world! Thank you for your wonderful generosity and care for those animals. May God bless you more each day of your life.

We got my rooster from a neighbor who got some straight-run chicks the spring before and ended up with two roosters who fought each other bloody every day if they weren’t separated. We were ordering chicks for our first flock and he offered us a rooster. We figured we would help him out, because I did some research and convinced my parents that roosters were good in the flock. We didn’t have other chickens yet though - and even when the chicks came they were babies, so he was lonely every day free ranging. He even ran back to the other farm a few times because he wanted other chickens, and as inexperienced chicken owners we decided to put the young chicks out and see how he treated them. They were too little to be outside but it was summer and boiling hot out, and they were fine, presuming he accepted them…and he did. Most of them from that flock ended up going to different homes because we had to order a minimum of 20 birds but we didn’t need them all, and had more chicks coming later. But he loved them! This giant rooster was doing the mating dance for chicks who came up to his ankles! He was so kind and for a while acted like a mother hen to them. We still have two hens from that batch, and he still loves them the most.

I've never owned chickens, and I don't have this mindset....this is a beautiful couple!

I never owned chickens but this story is very heartwarming and I find them really adorable. 🥰 I hopethey live happily together for as long as they can.

I too put a 14 yr rooster in a sling - he continued to be interested and partake in life and the affection such as grooming of his hen till he passed a year later.

I’ve never had chickens but I owned pet rats for years and I can say it’s the same. Every single one has its own unique personality and variation in intelligence and interests. Some are eager to interact with humans and are very trainable. Several of my rats knew their names, would come when called, and perform tricks.

Owning chickens is a very different experience, I daresay even more different than owning cats and dogs. Once you actually take care of chickens, you will actually realize how complex and different they are than the rest. They display and show signs of emotion and sentience, exactly human-like and are just the most cutest things imaginable. I had many chickens throughout the years and though, unfortunately they passed away, I still continue to miss my Toast, Butter and Brownie very much

Roosters will find food and call the hens and chicks over to eat it while they stand guard. The natural behavior of roosters is inspiring

Honestly, humans seem a lot less capable of unconditional love than nonhuman animals.

Yes! I had a lil' chicken once. At first we were gonna name her gertrude after my grandma but then after she grew enough to have feathers we noticed she had a limp leg. We named her Gimpy and I would help her around to get food and water. When she was lagging behind the group I would come and sit down. It was my way of asking "Do you wanna rest with me?" sometimes she would come and rest by my lap or I would pick her up and put her into my lap. She was a really sweat chicken and I loved her a lot. But one day there was a huge storm and Gimpy couldnt get up the ramp to get into her hen house. She was so cold. I didnt notice. And she died. Poor ittle Gimpy died cold, and alone because I wasn't careful enough to make sure she could make it up the ramp.

Si, yo tenia una gallina ciega. Era mi favorita.

@Black King its crazy people like you must be mentally disabled a bit to not have any empathy for animals like that

It's not that we think they have no emotions, it's just that they have chicken emotions, and we -- as a human animal -- will never be able to truly know what those emotions are because we are not chickens. These chickens are not free, they are not growing up and living their lives as their wild ancestors did, and whatever behaviors they exhibit are potentially a result of their altered environment. Who is to say this rooster would react in this same way completely free of any human intervention? What we view as "love" could also translate into "desperation" or "loneliness" or any other myriad of emotions that might arise in a confused animal living apart from its kind, surrounded by humans, in an unnatural human-built environment. And just because a rooster might feel whatever emotions it is feeling, does not mean it will react in the same way that a human might if we experienced those same emotions, because chickens do not have a human sense of morality or law. That's what we mean when we say that.

@@thekaren1111 Chimpanzees also hunt for fun. It's an entire social group activity for them to seek out monkeys, murder them, and leave their carcasses to rot. Several penguin species engage in necrophilia and pedophilia. Walruses will also try to mate with unattended babies, often inadvertantly smothering them to death with their bulk. So... Yeah, animals do things that humans would find depraved, but they're animals. There is no walrus court of law that will convict a walrus for raping and murdering a baby walrus.

@@thekaren1111 If other animals were capable of speech understood by humans and of creating complex societies, their sense of morality would be vastly different from ours. A spider society, where mother spiders eat their own young, might look at human childrearing as being immoral, whereas we would think it immoral to eat your own babies. That is what I meant by "human morality."

no chickens are barnyard animals, not pets, they do have emotions, but only the more primitive ones like, anger fear and lust. They don't love, and if ye see a cock dancing it is not because he is in love, it is because he is horny

If only people were like this. Bonding with one another person and not judging them right off the bat

If I’m not mistaken, birds are the only species outside of mammals which actually feel legitimate emotions such as love. There are certain components missing from fish and reptilian brains which prevent them from feeling complex emotions (rather regarding situations as positive or negative rather than actual anger, love, fear, etc). But birds do have these components and thus can feel genuine love for others. (Despite the cliche of chickens being incredibly dumb).

​@@nathanknight2508 That's a really ignorant way to look at things, honestly. Nothing is "practically mindless". It either is or it isn't, really. In addition, you don't need to be mindful to have emotional connections and to feel things. People tend to devalue instinctual emotions versus the more voluntary ones, which is bizarre. The instinctual ones are generally the stronger of the two types, and the ones we see overhyped in media and society all around (as an example, "motherly love" or "romantic love", though both of these are typicallg more based in biology than psychological for humans). You don't need a specific IQ to experience a rich emotional life. Humans had emotions (it'd be extremely weird and difficult to justify scientifically if they didn't) before we became advanced enough to wear clothes or build a fire. Almost anything with the capacity to connect (whether pyschologically, biologically, physiologically, etc.) outside of itself has the capability to feel emotion, as a general rule of thumb.

Joan,good comment. Do you eat chickens ?

@@jjradV No, I don't eat any meat, my conscience won't let me. I've been a vegetarian for over 30 years now. I try not to judge others who eat meat, as everyone's conscience is designed specifically for them. There are so many plant protein choices now to replace animal meat that it's easy for someone to stop eating animals. But even 30 years ago, for me it was a no-brainer, it was the right thing for me to do, as it had bothered me since I was a child to eat animals. I have a great love and appreciation for the animal world, and do not see humans as so superior. The animals we have as pets seem to understand unconditional love better than people, we can learn from them. All the species in this world make it a more beautiful place, and I thank God for them! I try to live and let live as best I can.

@@joansantalucia3291 I wonder if the people working in the factory farms and slaughter houses follow their conscience ? I wonder how many judges would let people go for rape, torture, incest or murder because the person was just following their conscience. There are too many people that don't seem to have a conscience, that is why we need Animal rights, to protect Animals from people, that think they can abuse, torture and kill Animals as they see fit. Have you ever considered becoming vegan ? The egg and dairy industries are extremely cruel. Dairy cows are forcibly bred every year so they will produce milk. The Male dairy calves are killed shortly after birth or kept confined either by being chained up or kept in a small enclosure so they can't move around in order to keep their muscles soft so they can be sold as veal. The babies are not allowed to have their mothers milk. Cows are very maternal animals and cry and grieve for weeks after their babies have been taken from them. Newly hatched Male chicks are ground up alive, gassed, suffocated or drowned because they don't lay eggs. The laying hens are kept in brutal conditions, deprived of everything that is natural to them. There are so many people that have no idea of the suffering they are causing and paying for. As you said , it has never been easier to become vegan.

@@jjradV All good points you made. I don't think people are in fact following their consciences when they do cruel things. Their consciences are either dulled or they've compartmentalize things in their minds to allow themselves to do cruel things. If people were truly following their consciences, they would be compassionate and kind to all of life, so far as they can see at that moment in time. But the fact is, we're all very imperfect and at different places in the maturity of our souls, so we can't live other people's lives for them. Our responsibility is to share what light or truth we've been given with others, and leave it with them to open themselves to it and make better choices, trusting God is working on their consciences (= His Divine Spark in them) and lives. There is so much cruelty and abuse going on in this world, and it's beyond any one person's ability to stop it. We can only do what we can in our sphere of influence. I'm a praying person, so believe there is great power in that as well. There is so much in this world that we don't understand, but we do the best we can with what we do understand. In answer to your question, yes I have considered going vegan, but at this point I still have milk products. I'm not a big fan of eggs, but do have them occasionally. Both are in many foods we eat, so it's hard to avoid them completely. Also, my focus has been that the animals are not killed to get the milk or eggs, and the eggs we eat are unfertilized. Maybe at some point, I will cease to eat milk and eggs. But I cannot dwell on all the horrors that are happening in our world, as they are unimaginable to me, and believe it is not healthy to dwell on them anyway, since we are limited in what we can prevent. I will continue to listen to my own conscience (as it was designed for me), and choose to focus on positive and good alternatives or scenarios that are happening, and believe that more good is possible! This works best for me to function this way. I appreciate your communication with me, though. 😇

@@joansantalucia3291 it might work best for you but not for the victims. There is a lot of suffering in a glass of milk, piece of cheese, a dish of ice cream. All foods that are available in the non dairy section. Why would anyone deliberately continue harming and killing someone when they have a choice not too. The cow is not your mother,the milk is not your milk,it is designed to grow a baby cow. Dairy cows have been manipulated by humans to produce huge amounts of milk,they are literally milking machines. Cows are even milked while they are pregnant,the milk is full of hormones that are very unhealthy for the human body. I wonder if God would approve of stealing a cows breast milk and depriving her babies that it was designed to feed. I wonder if God would approve of forcibly impregnating ( they are put into ,what the dairy industry calls a rape rack) cows every year until their bodies are exhausted from having babies and being continually milked. They are then sent to slaughter, usually between the ages of 5 to 7 years old. Cows naturally will live into their 20's.. I wonder if God would approve of killing new born Male dairy calves because they don't produce milk ? When people are making choices that harm other sentient beings out of ignorance that can be forgiven,but when people continue to cause suffering and death because they don't want to change their diet or what they consume that is quite another issue. To be aware of the violence and death they are causing and paying for is inhumane and unexceptable. Once you know these things you can't un-know it.

They understand and feel, that's why even a CROCKADILE will appreciate and respect you if you saved them like this man did. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aZNop5NjqNC4f4k.html We just don't often have situations happen that make such animals trust us, but when they happen, they think and feel just like humans, and we know when someone saves us they're not likely to be a threat.

dumbasses that are like that are the reason I feel like im going insane

that's at least the story they are telling us. I have been raising chickens for over 30 years and my first thought when I saw this video is "ev they take them inside" because chickens are not like cats or dogs, they do not have any bathroom culture, they do it wherever whenever they need to. And cocks always protect hens and let them have first pick on the food, but if they only allow him to have access to one hen of course he is going to be overprotective, but a normal cock needs a harem of 6 or 8 hens. Because chickens do not pair bond either. Its really disgusting that someone would treat chickens like this

@@rphb5870 They sure look happy!

@@rphb5870 I think it's a bit harsh to imply they're abusing or mistreating their chickens. I think chickens act differently depending on how much human interaction they have - these two are obviously pretty domesticated. Personally, my rooster has a favourite hen by a mile. He ignores the other 3 hens. He still protects them all and lets them have first pick of food but he is especially caring for one hen in particular. As for taking them inside, it's pretty commonplace these days. Because of avian influenza, my chickens HAVE to be kept inside and are not allowed outside, not even in the garden because we have a massive outbreak in my local area. As such, I can't let my chooks spend all their time sat in their indoor coops - they're used to being outside and roaming around. Because of that, I let them roam indoors. Otherwise they'd never get out and I think it would be more disgusting to deprive them of that freedom. They clearly go outside as well as being indoors so I see no issue. Cleaning up chicken poo takes five seconds, plus we see them on puppy pads which they will likely just dispose of after the chickens have done their business. It has been noted that chickens will pair bond. They won't mate for life, no, but many DO pair bond, especially hens with one another. That's why they often tell you to get an even number of hens. I actually think it's pretty nasty to accuse someone of mistreating their animals from a 3 minute clip. In all fairness, the rooster Shrimp was taken out of the flock because of violence. What else were they meant to do? Let the other roosters kill him? You know as well as I do that as soon as a bird sees red, they just keep pecking. They obviously didn't want him to be all alone and that's why he was introduced to Basil and vice versa. Considering she is disabled and has mobility issues, what were they meant to do with her? Reintroduce her to a flock where they will likely target her? This seems like a best case scenario for both chickens. As far as I see it, both chickens are likely to be killed by the flock if they aren't accepted which is how it seems to be. I'd rather they be indoors being stroked, having a snuggle together, running around etc than be dead. Seriously, why are you complaining saying that two clearly cared for animals are being abused when you COULD be spending that time complaining about the actual animal abuse they were saved from? Without battery farming, Basil would've never lost her leg in the first place and without Shrimp being abandoned, he may have been more capable of sticking up for himself. How the hell can you say you've raised chickens for 30 years but then seemingly put down the idea that they're sentient beings? It is something that the World Animal Protection has explicitly stated themselves.

@@theinvertebratequeen FIrst of all, I never said they mistreated them, I said that I was disgusted over how they treated them, which may still be a little too strong, its just I really do not like excrements and because they pop all the time, I have always kept my chicken at arms length. I have chickens for the eggs and the meat, and if a hen is disabled it is an obvious candidate for the stow, as is most cocks. I only keep a few of the most pretty for breeding. Regarding avian influenza, the best strategy is actually exposure, not isolation. Expose the chickens for the disease, let these who die die, and breed these who survive. The result is a resistant stock of chickens.

They are chickens, they need to be respected for what they are which is pretty awesome by itself
