Now you can buy stress free chicken at the store! According to the New York Times article New Way to Help Chickens Cross to Other Side, two premium chicken producers, Bell & Evans in Pennsylvania and Mary’s Chickens in California, are preparing to switch to a system of killing their birds that they consider more humane.
They use carbon dioxide to gently gas the birds unconscious before they are slaughtered.
The article quote the owner of Bell & Evans reiterating the stress chickens undergo before they are killed.
This presents a marketing challenge to all chicken producers because the general public doesn't like to think about how their chickens are killed.
The goal of the new system is to ensure that the birds “not have any extra pain or discomfort in the last few minutes of their lives.
