Does anyone actually do this any more? Is it something a small
producer could learn to do on their own or does it require a
veterinarian? Storey has a brief explanation of it in his book but
does not mention anesthetic being used. Is this cruel to cut open a
bird without pain control?


It's now illegal in the UK.
And yes, of course it's cruel to cut open a bird without pain
control. I'm surprised you asked.
Imagine it for yourself and then you know what is right for your
birds.

I guess raising meat birds is out, then ;-).

Why?

"Imagine it for yourself..."

I haven't met anyone so far who's remotely interested in having a knife
stuck into their brain or their jugular cut. OK, there are some sickos out
there, but _most_ of us would say "no way."
