The Patients Are Running the Asylum

Here's another beauty... Oh pleeezzz don't hurt the chickens. Just what does Claudia Barnes eat? I'll bet it's something that has been killed... oh how awful!! OK folks, read this news article and be very afraid of the lunacy run amok amongst us.

COMMERCE CITY - Some residents are up in arms over what a new grocery store plans to do with its poultry. California-based Liborio Markets, a Latino-based grocery store, is branching out to Colorado. Eight stores in all are planned for the state, the first one to be called Rancho Liborio in Commerce City.

The store, scheduled to open July 30, is talking with the U.S. Department of Health and the Tri-County Health Department, seeking approval to bring in live chickens that will be killed at the store. "We are proposing to have live poultry processed here at the store," said owner, Anthony Trujillo. "It's just live poultry that's processed in the back that has no access to the store."

Trujillo says about 150 chickens a day would be brought to the store in climate-controlled trucks, where they're then unloaded into a climate-controlled room in the back. Every morning, the chickens are given a fatal electric shock, de-feathered, cleaned, cut, and put on the shelves. Trujillo says no live chickens remain in the back for more than five hours. "There is no butchering or slaughtering whatsoever," said Trujillo. "It's a sophisticated state-of-the-art technology."

However, nearby residents, like Claudia Barnes, don't like the idea at all. "We're just appalled," she said. "If they want to do this in the privacy of their home, I don't care. But we're just opening up a keg of worms if this happens."
