    Notice how their chickens appear much better taken care of then the ones appearing at kapores in Brooklyn who’s front sides are bare of feathers.

      They’re a completely different breed. Look at the color, for one thing. You’re not allowed to specifically ask for white ones, but if they are available you choose them without saying why; obviously in China they are just not available.
