    thats crazy, i had no idea that would be considered animal cruelty. i grew up on a farm and have only ever seen the head chopped off but out of curioity, how is severing the spinal cord with an axe more inhumane than twisting the neck? logically speaking, the blood draining out has  no effect on cognition, and what if theneck doesnt snap the first time?

      I think they mean the guy slit the birds neck, severing the arteries but not the spinal cord, and then let it drain, instead of fully beheading it.

      Honestly decapitation is more humane than a broken neck. The drop in BP is enough to cause immediate lights out, where as someone with a broken neck could very well have to suffocate to death inside their own bodies.

      The blood pressure drop has a huge effect on cognition.
