I think this is something that has gone on for a while. I'm sure I have
heard of it before, and of course it always stirs up controversy.
As far as a "humane" way to kill through it sounds as good if not better
than others I have heard, and seen used for mass slaughter.

This happened when the area was hit by a an infection, and the birds had
to be disposed of.
The industry, as normal practice, wouldn't waste the protein by killing
birds in this way.

As soon as I sent this I thought the same thing. Why would they dispose of
birds like that? I would think they would be used as animal food if nothing
else.
Your right the story I was thinking about was the birds that were killed
over fear of disease.
