The Most Upsetting Video Ever Of An Automatic Chicken Plucker

This is Janet’s Whizbang Chicken Plucker, built using the instructions from the hit best-selling book Anyone Can Build a Tub-Style Mechanical Chicken Plucker. It is absolutely f—king horrifying, and I apologise in advance.

    I’m not sure why you think it’s horrifying (unless you’re vegetarian – in which case, fair enough).
    The chicken is dead, then the feathers are removed – do you think there’s some “nice” commercial way to do it, or that spending an hour manually plucking feathers is somehow kinder to the dead bird?
