In Spanish, a peacock is literally called a "royal turkey" (pavo real)
Poultry for rich snobs
Peacocks are chicken made of pea protein. They're vegan! /s
The science checks out.
If you liked "pee nut butt errr" you'll like "pee cock" too!
Birds aren’t real
If it flies, it spies!
glamour chickens!
... and what?
Damn peacockists!
What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent peacock meal?
Democracy manifest!

Are there non-deranged Canada goose noises?
I like em. But I also don't have to walk near them or where they poo, so take my opinion as you will.

Huh, apparently peacocks are endangered. So probably that's why?
I honestly thought they were quite common as livestock but I guess I was wrong.
I grew up in an Italian community where peacocks and peahens were commonly raised for food - exactly like chickens are now raised by hipsters.
The common peacock, also called Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus), seen in the pic above, is not endangered. Least concern in fact.
The Green peafowl (pavo muticus) is endangered, but I highly doubt the Florida man had/ate that species. Much harder to acquire—I’ve never even seen it at a zoo.

Here's the news story about it: https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/pascocounty/man-kills-eats-pet-peacock-pasco-county/67-d216ccbf-d32a-462c-be3d-65c41907095e

There's nothing wrong with eating peafowl. People have been eating them for centuries and still do.
-
While some species of peafowl are endangered, the species that people keep as pets are not.

This guy was reportedly arrested for his slaughtering methods. I'm no butcher, but I believe the commonly accepted method of slaughter is to swiftly break the bird's neck to ensure the death is quick. According to the news article, he cut the bird's necks and let them bleed out which counts as animal cruelty. A person would theoretically get arrested for doing this to their pet/feeder chickens as well.
Pretty sure halal and kosher meat requires that the animals bleed out.
Yeah, I have seen the animal bleed out once, and it is hard to watch.
A small and young lamb is all tied up laying on the ground with the carotid severed. It is clearly in fear and tries very hard to get away. That struggle lasted for a long time until it eventually is exhausted and died.
I am not sure if this is how halal and kosher meat are produced though.
I've seen Kosher/Halal killing of chickens, goats and cows. Cows are the worst.
Literally every single halal certified carcass was killed like this.

That's how everyone kills chickens around here, you even have like a metal cone to keep them steady while you do it, I never had the heart to kill any animals but I've seen a lot of it.
