Dip.
How strange some people are about food. They will eat chicken but will not eat rabbit.
Perhaps they see rabbits as cuddly pets rather than vermin that have an excellent life in the wild until they are brought humanely to an end by a bullet.
Compare that to the sad, brutal and short life that most chickens have to endure to be economical at the price we want to pay. As to how they are killed you can look that up yourself, I’ll spare you here.
A long time ago I lived with chickens running wild in my gran’s garden that one by one went into the pot every Sunday. I was a witness to their swift dispatch.
My gran didn’t realise she was just supposed to look after them until my dad built his hen run.
They were all gone when he came to collect them.
