I think the best advice to the film producer would be to presume that that
particular chicken is now mercifully deceased, and was probably reluctant to
give interviews when it was on display anyway. There are only so many things
a headless chook can be expected to do. Or maybe the writer of the above was
speaking of the farmer being put on display, for despicable behaviour and
for hens to throw eggs at. No wonder people watching TV can't separate the
chickens from the eggs on the news when the TV folks get their grammar so
scrambled. I wondered whether one should go easy-over a question of grammar,
but the media should not be coddled. What all this seems to boil down too is
mindless voyeurism. I know that if you boil a chicken with the thyroid in
the family who get the soup get a nice dose of pick-me-up thyroid hormone; I
am in a stew over whether serving the base of the brain with the chicken
might solve some media problems.
