  • The joke is a pun. A kid being a doll can mean that they are adorable or it can mean that they are a toy. The comic subverts the expectation that the kid would have a positive response to being called adorable with a negative response to being called a toy.

    Yes, this is why I stated that chicken slaughtering was free of distress and suffering only in some cases. Farmers are highly incentivized to take shortcuts which result in worse methods and higher error rates. I remember hearing about how pigs are frequently suffocated using CO2 even though using inert gasses or other methods would trigger significantly much less distress.

    This is inaccurate to the majority of mass produced chicken. Mature chickens are stunned before being slaughtered. This can be accomplished in three major ways: electrocution, suffocation, or mechanically striking the brain. In many cases the chicken does not suffer pain or distress. What is more valid to criticize is how male chicks are killed. Due to a lack of regulation, farmers frequently toss them into a grinder while still alive and conscious.
