US Poultry Workers Are Denied Bathroom Breaks, Must Wear Diapers

As we can see, it's not merely the unsanitary conditions the chickens (sentient creatures which must inhabit cages where they are fattened and unable to walk even if there were room to do so) are processed in which exacerbates the risk of disease.

Lol wut?

Sentient: Living, breathing, feeling...you're supposed to be feel compassion for that type of being. Try it some time.

"I hope we are all aware that chicken farmers are barely able to make ends meet on the prices they are forced to sell chicken for.  In a situation where so many employees, farmers, and sentient animals are losing; who the hell is winning and why do we tolerate this?"

You realize that's a bit of a rhetorical question, right?

That's not what sentient means.

Understanding what words mean; try it sometime.

That was the roundabout way of saying:

That's from Merriam-Webster, and any chicken that's struggling to move at all, making really unnatural sounds fits that definition just fine, so I repeat...compassion...try it!

Sentient or not, they sure taste good fried

Cory's more or less the living embodiment of a Reddit atheist. I don't think he's able to feel compassion for other living beings.

If your contention is that chickens are not sentient, can you provide your own definition so that your perspective might be clear?  Are you suggesting that birds in general lack the capacity to feel, or is this something more specifically in regards to chickens?

The ability to perceive things subjectively as an entity with self-awareness.

By the definition provided by L. D. Smith would mean that almost anything could be called "sentient". Worms even. I mean c'mon.

There would be more evidence that chickens are sentient than not using that definition.  The alternative viewpoint essentially would suggest that chickens operate rather mechanically, and any demonstration of self-awareness, or indeed, their documented capacity to suffer, is merely a reflection of the human observation rather than the chicken itself.  Given that other birds are self-aware beyond any reasonable doubt, I suspect you will have a hard time finding any scientific evidence that suggests that chickens are unique among birds in somehow lacking the ability to feel.

If anybody here lacks the ability to feel, it's Cory.
