To this day I will rarely eat chicken because as a kid on my own I once had to behead many chickens with an axe at a mom and pop factory in Mexico. It
was not very humane. I regret having done it.

David, how much quicker is some other way to kill a chicken? Humane would mean to die quickly, right? An axe chop is pretty fast isn't it?

Implementing a kinder method of chicken commercial slaughter is called controlled-atmosphere killing. This method puts chickens to sleep by removing
the oxygen from their environment and replacing it with an inert gas, like nitrogen or argon. I realize this is not practical on the Ranchos. I am
sure that cutting off their heads rapidly is probably the most humane way to kill them in a Rancho. It is just gruesome and very bloody, especially if
they convulse which they will do. No wringing of necks and snapping the heads off. That is not humane.
