I recently bought chickens and thought the way the assistant handled the chickens was cruel. When I asked why he picked them up by their feet the assistant said that this was the easiest way of handling large numbers of chickens. I said that my chickens would never be treated like this again. I then mentioned my concerns to the bloke at the checkout and he said nothing and looked at me blankly. If they treat their animals this way in the presence of customers how will they treat them when we are not watching.
