I wouldn't call it weird, more like inhumane and heartbreaking but it came to mind.
I was driving down the interstate and I saw a tall flatbed truck literally stuffed top to bottom with live chickens. It had chicken wire all around it and the poor animals were terrified climbing all over each other and struggling. It was not covered up, anyone driving by could see this. Most certainly heading for a slaughterhouse.
I could not drive after that, had to pull over and take a minute. It gave me a horrible feeling. And I'm an EMT, I have seen some seriously awful shit.
But this was suffering on a mass scale. It should not happen to animals, humans, anyone. This is why I pay whatever my local farmer charges for meat. No questions asked. Perdue and Tyson SUCK.
Quoting: LaGata I can tell you one similar to that. Probably about 5 years ago, I was doing field service work for a company that sent me to an industrial meat processing plant in Colorado. This is the kind of place where they slaughter several thousand cows per day. They bring them in on 18 wheelers on one side and ship them out in little packages on the other. The cows behaved similar to what you describe the chickens behaving, when they arrived there. They know something terrible is about to happen to them. I spent about 3 days working there and there was a sadness and heaviness that hung over that place that I really can't explain. Every moment I spent there felt like an eternity and I could not wait to leave. Thankfully, that was the only one I ever had to go to. There is no way I could work in a place like that.
