Kissing any animal is generally a bad idea. Especially one that shits absolutely everywhere.
So in other words, lockdown motivated a bunch of brainless hipsters to try raising chickens out of sheer boredom, and these first-time chicken handlers cluelessly handled their chickens like their cats and dogs.
I'm not sure how it's possible to be this dumb around chickens, because they fucking stink. You'd think the stench they create would instantly clue people not to kiss their fucking chickens.
They obviously smell the same.
I used to own a bunch of chickens and they never smelled even up close and I don't know what dirty chickens you smelled but they probably didn't clean up after them
This has nothing to do with handling your birds and everything to do with food safety preparations. I had those fucking birds for 6 years and never once got sick from handling them. Somewhere someone is not cutting up the chicken safely before it gets to market.
FUCK THE LYING CUNTS AT THE CDC.
How about mixing different kinds of livestock in close quarters and poor conditions, increasing the chances of a disease jumping species and becoming more dangerous to humans?
No, that's still OK.
If you think that's what I said, you've got an excellent future ahead of you in modern pedagogy.
Urban wildlife is one thing, urban livestock is a terrible idea, cities-as-traps aside.
That's one thing my shit-ass hometown did do right, was ban urban livestock - people just got sick of weird old Eastern European women slaughtering and butchering chickens and rabbits in plain sight with no thought to cruelty laws or cleanliness/FoodSafe.
And our neighbours' coops did nothing but encourage the ROUS that SouthWestern Ontario is practically fucking famous for.
How will Portland survive!?
kinky is using a feature, perverted is using the whole chicken
... Noted
So you've sworn off your chicken kissing, promise? Some people just can't control themselves.
People actually do that?
Have they never seen the kind of breathing gear you need to enter a chicken enclosure?
(FYI, did you know that chicken enclosures have suffered dust explosions?)
So... Don't kiss mask-wearers. Got it. Makes sense, air rebreathing leads to higher bacterial counts and infection rates.
Oh, you meant literal chickens.
