Those Fijiian fellows are going to eat the birds. I had the most wonderful experience with people of this origin when we lived on the coast. I raised Muscovy ducks and let me tell you, the people from Fijii and Indians of the East LOVE muscovy ducks. They also LOVE roosters too, the bigger the better. I sold many an extra rooster to these people, they were my repeat customers and phoned me always to see if I had more birds for sale, they paid well, they did not complain about any prices, although the price was not extreme either. Even offered to meet half way from the Okanagan to the Lower Mainland, if I was raising muscovies, very good clients. When the Fijiian couple would come and get the young drakes, they would kill the birds before they left. At first I had a problem with this. But I watched one time. They would take the drakes one by one into an empty stall that I had, where no other birds could see them. The neck was slit, and the bird bled out. This was tidy, this was clean and before this was done to each bird, the man said a blessing upon the soul of the bird before it went to bird heaven, as they thanked that bird for providing a meal for them. There was never a sound, nor a mess, nor a smell. Their method was quick, clean and very painless, as far as I could see. I had the UTMOST respect for this particular culture and would do business again with this couple in a heartbeat. The Indians of Eastern culture too. They highly respected me and our home farm and it was given back to them by me. Those fellows were going to eat your cockerels, and I can bet they gave a prayer for peace as the birds' souls left their body. Rest assured, they were providing some nice food for a table of probably a very large family. Nice story, by the way, have a most wonderful day, CynthiaM.
