This guy was reportedly arrested for his slaughtering methods. I’m no butcher, but I believe the commonly accepted method of slaughter is to swiftly break the bird’s neck to ensure the death is quick. According to the news article, he cut the bird’s necks and let them bleed out which counts as animal cruelty. A person would theoretically get arrested for doing this to their pet/feeder chickens as well.
thats crazy, i had no idea that would be considered animal cruelty. i grew up on a farm and have only ever seen the head chopped off but out of curioity, how is severing the spinal cord with an axe more inhumane than twisting the neck? logically speaking, the blood draining out has no effect on cognition, and what if theneck doesnt snap the first time?
Yeah, I think decapitation is fine. I think this guy just cut their carotid, and hung them up to die.
Not a great way to go, honestly.
I’m familiar with some butchering methods, but I’m no butcher. I think that the most common practices in large butcher shops involve either decapitation, or a way of instantly killing the animal. Pretty sure they use a type of bolt “gun” for bovines that basically crushes their skull.
It seems like it is brutal, but their death is so instant, it is considered to be humane.
Honestly decapitation is more humane than a broken neck. The drop in BP is enough to cause immediate lights out, where as someone with a broken neck could very well have to suffocate to death inside their own bodies.
The blood pressure drop has a huge effect on cognition.
Hanging the bird upside down, cutting its neck (specifically, the arteries that are in the neck) and letting it bleed out is standard practice. The blood drains quickly and they die within a few seconds. It sounds horrible if you haven’t seen it done but this is how many (most?) farmers do it.
I’ve seen aunties grab a chicken by the neck and just spin it around till the head comes off.
It sounds to me like the guy told the neighbor “stop feeding my birds, I’m going to slaughter them soon”, and the neighbors who had been feeding the birds without permission reported them?
Anyways. Peacocks are annoying as hell. Preposterously loud.
The peacocks I’ve seen are so loud they can be heard at the top of a 25 story condo. I’ve literally seen people sell their condos because of the damn peacocks. Maybe they only have peahens?
I think of the method this guy used as “The Sarah Palin method” because she once did a news interview while people were killing turkeys in the background that way.
Here’s the news story about it: https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/pascocounty/man-kills-eats-pet-peacock-pasco-county/67-d216ccbf-d32a-462c-be3d-65c41907095e
There’s nothing wrong with eating peafowl. People have been eating them for centuries and still do.
While some species of peafowl are endangered, the species that people keep as pets are not.

Pretty sure halal and kosher meat requires that the animals bleed out.
Ah, so standard Halal practice, which is savage animal cruelty with a devoted PR department.
excact same with Kosher laws
It’s ok as long as enough other people share the same delusion.
Yet, If I tell them the voices in my head told me to watch the light drain from my prey’s eyes as it dies before I eat…

I think they mean the guy slit the birds neck, severing the arteries but not the spinal cord, and then let it drain, instead of fully beheading it.

that’s how I was taught how to do it.
One of my neighbors have Peacocks. The rest have dogs. I’ll take Peacocks any day!
It’s kind of adorable hearing them yell at cars driving by too fast/loud.

That may be. I can’t actually see them because of a big privacy fence. But I definitely recognize the sound, my grandparents raised them.
If it was economically feasible, I’d sell my house because of the dogs :/
