Let's get our terms clear - this was NOT "euthanasia"

"The most horrific part of the warrant was having to euthanize every single one of the roosters on the property," said Eccles.

Let's get our terms perfectly clear here. This is not euthanasia. Euthanasia is "the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease" according to the Oxford Dictionary.

This was killing or slaughtering. Wringing necks of so many healthy birds is not a job that a Society for the PREVENTION of Cruelty to Animals should be engaged in.
