I was on the bus (of course) and I was sitting in front of two high school students from the alternative school, NOVA. I was listening in to their conversation and was shocked to learn that each girl had respectively witnessed a chicken beheading sometime in the past. One girl referenced a crazy friend of hers whose Mom raised everything they ate. Supposedly she went into her friend’s backyard and there was the Mom, slicing off the head of a chicken for dinner, with a chainsaw. This scarred the young lady and was a contrubuting factor to her new vegetarian lifestyle. Her companion had also recently seen a chicken beheading while on a high school field trip. Appearently they went to some farm and the farmer impressed upon them this grand decapitating. “So what did you do?” Girl #1 inquired, her own memories of chicken slaughter fresh in her mind. “Oh, I just left,” Girl #2 said.
