Andrew Zimmerman is eating fluffy white Silkie's testicles on Bizarre Foods! They showed a bunch of black skinned bantam Silkie carcasses hanging on hooks. Oh the Horror! The Horror!
Andrew Zimmerman is eating Silkies!
That's terrible! They're to look at not EAT!
We need to send a mission to Taiwan to explain that!
But first we need to acertain what is actually going on there. Who is the head of Covert Ops?
The head of Covert Ops, did not get to be the head of Covert Ops by letting everyone know who holds that position. ;)
Oh, you're right--but Bush the Elder was the head of the CIA and everyone knew it---don't we have a nice figurehead we can turn to? I am sure there was someone.....Uh Oh, I remember....never mind.........
Grownut is Chief of Covert Operations. Somebody get her out from under her rock.
GROWNUT! Get over here!!
This is deeply disturbing...
You have no idea--they actually showed the sweet little things looking around trustingly. Then wham! Hanging from a hook all naked. Then Zimmerman slurping down black testicles.
Maybe your'e right about TV, Moxon....the horror is now burned on my retina. Oh my eyes.....
That's just gratuitous chicken violence. I think we should boycott Zimmerman...
NOBODY is eating ANY of my silkies....
LT. Major Harmony Ordering all crew to turn off TV programs dealing with this subject and cease looking at links.
The more you look the worse you will feel:(
LT.Major Harmony ordering all crew members back to base for Hugs and Chocolate.
There are many things in this world we can do nothing about and getting stressed is not good for your health.
LT. MAJOR HARMONY "SALUTE"
nobody here eats mine neither and never will, i'd have to hurt someone,lol. they r suppost to be a medicinal thing in asian countries due to the dark meat or something. silkies r chickens too, i would think about doing that with my extra roos but i only eat white meat on a bird.
I like dark meat.. but not that dark! No way.. No how..
one of the people on the yahoo link said it was racist LOLapparently having black skin is racist now days god some people are dumb LOL
Say it isn't so. Murderers! Silkies are cartoon characters. Isn't there some kind of cartoon chartacter protection plan? We need one if not.
In some countries they eat horses, dogs and cats too.
A Silkie is a chicken afterall...so really not so shocking.
People eat cute n' fluffy rabbits in the U.S.
Its all a matter of culture and personal taste.
Eating fairy folk that turn into seals is just wrong!
Bob
Well, they do lure people to their doom. But that is no reason to eat them.
Cottage_Rose, put down the fluffy white bunny!
Some one get over to Cottage_Rose's and check the situation out...she should be kept away from all fluffy white animals. This may explain the decline in the polar bear population.....
Come on guys. At the risk of starting a war, this IS a poultry and livestock forum. It's fine if you want to make pets of your chickens, but let's not look down on people who are raising them as POULTRY. I eat my chickens. I eat my rabbits and I eat my turkeys. I don't make pets of the ones I eat and I don't eat pets. I have too many silkie roosters. Guess what. Instead of wasting feed all winter on chickens that have no purpose, we will eat them. A chicken is a chicken.
Is it possible to get back to more information as less fairy tales and private conversations that should be D-mailed?
If I am the only one who feels this way, just ignore me...I guess I'm getting crabby in my old age.
Come on Guys this is going to get out of hand let's stop this thread before somebody get's their feelings hurt. Please:(
moving my silkie chicks to a secret bunker. ain't nobody eating them
Hey, grownut....throw me a rock!
Cat no rock throwing now everbody go have a snack and calm down^_^
It's to hide under......
Yeah, everyone except Jylgaskin, have a snack. We know what Jylgaskin,'s going to munch on. ;)
While it is true that humans are pretty high up on the food chain, flat worms are even higher!

OH My thats not very nice :( Be careful people just because we can't see each other doesn't mean we don't have feelings.
I'm sorry Cottage_Rose and jylgaskin i ask them to stop and they refused :(
I will have no part of this.
I think the folks are just having fun with this but some of us people EAT fluffy, cute critters.
Why just the other day we butchered these lil' guys and slapped them on the grill...
despite them setting up and pleading for mercy with their little pink eyes.

(just kidding!)
Gotcha! ;o)
My utter apology, my worst flaw is my trouble resisting a joke. Truth is when raising and breeding, there are many occasions where you must cull or show mercy to a badly injured creature. To waste the meat or leave it as carrion is poor respect for a symbiotic being that had it's existence so strongly tied to man.
History is full of creatures that were at one time raised by man, that went extinct the moment man had no use for them.
At times my family is quite nearly vegan, not through any great ethic, but to avoid cholesterol and because we really love our veggies. I appreciate the vegan ethic, yet a vegan existence for man would spell extinction for many breeds and creatures who's sails are now bound to ours.
At one time in my youth I ate with the family of a friend I had made at camp. The entire meal, the father, a dairy farmer, was fairly quite and seemed near to tears. Later I found that the meat we had enjoyed was of a cow that was one of his favorites. He could have sold the meat. He could have easily afforded to give away or bury the meat. For this man, this was respect shown.
Bob
I entirely agree with Bob.
It was more the discrepancy of a very cute bird that in most of the Western world is seen purely as an ornamental/companion fowl being consumed with great relish that struck me as funny.
I don't think I said anywhere that I don't approve of eating chickens....
I'll go back under my rock now.
EVEN I wouldn't eat it's testicles! ( pretty funny cottage rose, may I join catscan under her rock?)
Bob, the flat worm may be higher, but it's food supply is pretty low.
Is everything and everybody on better terms i was worried mother that I'am that somebody would start throwing crayons and tinker toys.
Just kidin Hate to see my chicken folks at odds i count on all here for help and inspiration and i mean ALL....^_^
I was considering throwing a cupcake, but Catscan would've yelled at me....
I thought about throwing Silkie testicles but they're all in the freezer.
Cupcakes? Did someone say cupcakes?
NO CUPCAKES!
Does no one read the manual?
How about some banana pudding????
See, I told you she would yell at me...
I'll take some banana pudding if it's homemade i don't like the short cut kind made with vanilla pudding.
Me too, this house is a no instant pudding zone.
