- Not really. After all, with sufficient processing, I routinely
- do far worse things to chickens than simply biting off their heads.

- However, if the chickens you allude to were live, I would almost
- certainly ask for a demonstration. And what about choking? Could
- I also conclude that, in the privacy of your own home, you choke
- your chicken?
