Are chickens people, too?

chicken.jpgOne of the NY "news" rags that I periodically glance at (no pun intended) told me that a study at the University of Bristol (UK) determined that chickens are people. I didn't know that. Did you? Here's the story:

Chickens have feelings, according to British veterinarians. The researchers took a group of mother hens and their chicks and blew puffs of air at the chicks. This caused the birds distress and sent their heart rates up, reducing the temperature of their eyeballs --a well-known sign of stress. The mother hens showed exactly the same signs of stress when they were hit with puffs of air, too ...

I wonder what the chickens feel when you tell them Colonel Sanders is coming for tea.

Now you can see why some people people do and think silly things about humanity.
