THE BEST PENGUINS EVAR!

Fat chickens and clone peas.

How big is your KFC?
Big enough to have heart disease?
How about big enough to be unable to walk?
  As it turns out, people in England breed chickens up to 3kg, enough to make the chickens unable to walk and move from place to place. Personally, I believe that this practice is not as big of an issue as people make it out to be. In my opinion, the chickens are probably going to be eaten soon, so why shouldn't they eat a lot before that? And how do people even know whether or not the chickens are in pain.

1. Selective breeding is choosing who animals will mate with in order to better next generations. Genetic modification is combining or altering the genes of an animal to make it change then, and not have to wait until a later line of family.

2. Some beneficial applications of selective breeding are ability to make an animal more aesthetic, produce more food, or increase an athletic ability.

3. Some of the beneficial applications of GMO's are increased ability to do something quicker, or just weird people that want to make bunnies green.

4. Some of the concerns of selective breeding are creating pain for the animal, or being cruel to the animals by giving them a lack of freedom of bodily condition.

5. Some of the concerns of GMO's are killing the animals, or creating mutations that are painful for the animal.

6. I think that people should be more worried about selective breeding, because there is a greater chance that the results will multiply and create more and more mutated animals.

7. I believe that he would be excited, yet tell us to be cautious, because working with living animals can cause pain that isn't present in plants.

  2. What would make you think that chickens don't feel pain? They have a brain, spinal cord, and nerves very similar to your own?
    These chickens aren't fat just from eating, their entire system has been altered, they get too big for their own good, their bodies cannot support them.
