Feel Like Chicken Tonight

From the always fair and balanced HuffPo:

"An undercover video shot by an animal rights group at an Iowa egg hatchery shows workers discarding unwanted chicks by sending them alive into a grinder, and other chicks falling through a sorting machine to die on the factory floor."

Is it wrong of me that my first thought was that old jingle "I Feel Like Chicken Tonight?"

I dunno... seriously, what did they expect? Farming... even the small, romanticized family farm... is an ugly business at times. And it's not like they didn't have an offer for anyone to take the chicks.

Mark Twain said it best... "Those that respect the law and love sausage should watch neither being made."

Chick-Fil-A anyone?
