    Poultry killing tool - photo

    Poultry killing tool. Yes, an axe works too, but every Coloradan knows the story of Mike the Headless Chicken.

    Years back I worked with an old-timer who had spent a few years working in a small town slaughter house that processed all manner of animals for local farms. I remember him describing how he was taught to humanely kill chickens by using a knife with an upturned tip. It would be inserted into the chicken's beak and twisted upwards and moved slightly side to side. He said that this would instantly "scramble the chicken's brain" (his words) and it would go immediately go limp. He said that was taught as the most humane method to kill the animal quickly and without pain. This seems to be a tool based on the same theory.

    Funny that this made me think of him.
