Woolworths stop shaving their chickens


Supervillains need to eat, much like camels, fish, minions & other such things like the rest of the human race.
So I noticed at my local Woolworths store the other day (while shopping for SuperVillainous Supplies), that they've changed the name of some of their products in what can only be an attempt to comply with some ridiculous guilt-free guidelines on product marketing:
Woolworths are no longer shaving their chickens, pigs, turkeys & cows it seems - because obviously that is politically incorrect & suggests that they torture the animals before they slaughter them in cold blood for the sake of their hungry, meat-eating customers.
Gone are the packs of shaved/sliced ham & chicken; now we have skinny poultry & meat in the form of "Wafer Thin" packs.
So shaving your farm animals is out, but keeping them skinny & cat-walk ready is fine. Just as long as they don't sound tortured before they're killed for the dinner table...
