      It truly is horrible. I've seen it once at length (on TV) for another species of bird. I could maybe stomach some kind of instant death, but not this. It's lengthy, tons of suffering, impossible to watch. So don't do it. This is not a "don't push this button" comment, really...don't watch it. It damages the soul permanently. Posted 6 years ago
