Ok, so we stop eating chickens.  The next step, we release the several billion domesticated in North America to fend for themselves. 

Good luck with that.  Sounds real humanitarian to let an animal that has been domesticated for over 8,000 years to return to the wild where it has no ability to survive.

How has it been domesticated for the past 8,000 years? One can surely distinguish between the methods used now and the methods used in the past. What matters is not the moment of death, but the entire lifetime beforehand, and in the past, chickens, turkeys, etc. had reasonable lives before slaughter. Now, in the age of factory farming, where the animal has become nothing but a cost-sensitive commodity, by and large, they do not. Nor do cattle or other livestock, by and large. This fact is what is either not being grasped, or being purposely ignored in most of these reviews.
