Is species profiling legal?

Will chickens without proper ID be subject to arrest?

If jailed, who gets to keep the eggs?

So many questions, so few answers.

3. No, but they would need hatching certificates..
Since chickens technically aren't born.

That state where the egg was laid.

Which comes first, the chick or the egg?

6. Not necessarily. But you may be asked if they have been infected with the swine flu "vaccine"
If the FOX channel is on the TV in the waiting room there's an excellent chance that will be the first question the receptionist asks.

7. Great point! What if the chickens came from Mexico?
Would a conservative doctor take chickens that don't have 'papers'? Wow, there will have to be huge government agencies to deal with all the problems with the "Poultry for Physicians' program. And i thought conservatives were against big government.

Having said the above, I just built a chicken coop in my back yard. I'm excited because I'm going to be going to a farmers market today to pick up 10 chickens and a few bags of chicken feed. Because I don't have health insurance I think this new idea is fantastic.

8. But you can tell a Mexican chicken from an American one...
Republicans 'say' they can spot an illegal alien just by looking at them. They even said they could identify them by their shoes. So I guess they will be able to spot something on a chicken that sets them apart from being one of us.

9. Dang double click! I need a new keyboard!
Edited on Sat Apr-24-10 10:31 AM by AnArmyVeteran
A lot of my posts get posted twice. I guess it's my keyboard, or do other people have that problem too? Sorry for the duplications!
