That means that there are no laws on the books to protect chickens. They are kicked, punched, thrown around, have their legs broken, beaks cut off, and many are boiled alive in a defeathering tank when they are not properly slaughtered. All of this is legal.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.alternet.org/healthwellness/142782/are_chicken_and_fish_as_unhealthy_as_red_meat?page=entire"><P>With all the amazing <A href="http://vegweb.com/index.php?action=recipecategories" target="_blank">alternatives</A> out there to chicken and fish, weaning yourself is easier than ever.
