Ahhh! That's just wrong. Deep fry that fella and I'd still eat it, though.

[Dr. Bang]

If it taste like chicken then i definitely will.

No more having to pluck out chicken feathers wheeeeeeeeeeeee.

[a_sh]

Cool, now if they only could invent a meatball tree

"The bottom line is profit, but it should be animal welfare"

i hate this attitude. and not just in this instance, but on the whole. for me, HUMAN welfare is primary.

i'm not saying featherless chickens are in humans' best interest, but animal rights activists just forget humans sometimes. i mean if you need a cause, make it third world countries or refugees or the earth in general, like the rainforests for chrissakes, not some minks or chickens.

Hehe well, they are all getting eaten by peoples at the end, so how does it matter if they walk around without feathers for a few months and then get butchered?

[Awetopsy]

True true, cause these are just stupid animals, nothing more.

Kinda like alot of humans.

Fucked up. Ignorance of the highest degree.

[[Shizo]]

Ye it kinda sucks that people are the only animals who do poop to other animals of the planet (ie growing chickens to eat them)
Dumping toxic waste on animals, cause humans are animals too in case nobody noticed.

Which basically means, humans = desease

so what makes people think their above animals? If anything they are FAR below...

...now all they need to do is make pre breaded/cooked chicken...

[Lukiaz]

With todays technology I think it would be relatively easy for them to grow a chicken breast without the need for the useless bits like the head or legs.
The only problem would be mass producing it and getting it passed those bleeding heart hippies who always get in the fucking way.

[Hunago]

That chicken's head looks yummy,
where did the heads usually go though, do they grind it up and feed to other chickens?

[kana]

i'm not saying it's right for us to benefit from the suffering of animals. it's just that i've grown somewhat intolerant of animal rights activists because a girlfriend of mine of 2 years was one of the highest degree. she could be called an animal rights fascist.

yes, i think it's wrong to create a new species of chicken that isn't even a chicken anymore, just because farmers could save a buck.

The thing that bothers me most is that with these things it's always supposedly invented to aid the poor people in the 3rd world.
I mean.. that is just such hypocracy. We all know this chicken was designed to shorten the production process...money.

Just like some starving family in africa is going to have money to buy a state of the art chicken engineered exactly to fit their needs.

People are not kept in a cage that is so small that they can't move. They aren't fed horomones so they grow faster. They aren't force fed to make their livers burts or boiled alive just because it makes them tastier.
They cannot defend themselves. And thats why some people make it their cause to help them.

When someone spends his energy on helping some other creature I don't see whats wrong with that. If you feel that people are more important than help people. But do it yourself and don't just sit there and nag at other people like you have the right to decide what they should devote their time and energy on.

This particular instance doesn't even bother me that much. It just showed that animals have become a product and not seen as living beings anymore. Well we already knew that.
It's not like a regular bio-industry chicken looks much better.

[DickCheese]

yum! Skinless chicken rules!

In near future kids will be produced in a similar fascion - engineered to be more perfect, no defects, more able to do tasks like some for farming, some for architecture. Soon there will be crimes such as "growing a group of trained humans for your own purpose such as taking over the world" you'll see :D

Feh. Chicken technology won't impress me until they're actually growing the critters with Popeye's cajun spices INSIDE the little guys.
