Chickens, Factory and Rabbits - Animal Rights Zone

The Gap Between Wildlife and the Animal Rights Movement

10,000 Birds

JULY 24, 2012

The animal rights movement is (rightly) closely associated with protesting things like factory farming, dogfighting, etc…basically, the mistreatment of animals. Yes, of course it is too bad that so many animals (most often rats, mice and rabbits) have to be killed. This makes perfect sense. The logic of this is ridiculous.

Getting the Bill – Taste, Touch and Smell in Birds

10,000 Birds

DECEMBER 18, 2012

Whilst catfish have around 100,000 taste buds, rabbits around 17,000 and humans approximately 9,000, birds rarely exceed 100 of these receptors. Chickens come in at around 24, pigeons have around 40-50 and some duck species may have a whopping 400. Let’s talk about taste. Ducks are the avian leaders of bill touch.
