McDonald's to consider more humane method to slaughter chickens

Yowsers, I never thought of the killing process. I wonder what do they do to get the burgers? I'm feeling guilty for being a carnivore now...

The fast-food giant says it's studying the possibility of what's called "controlled atmosphere killing."

That process puts chickens to sleep with a gas. It would replace a slaughtering process in which chickens are hung by their legs on a moving conveyor line and their throats cut. | source: ABC7Chicago.com
