webfact Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Cooking ‘chicken-in-a-pit’ a recipe for 2 years in jail, warns animal rights group By THE NATION Animal rights group Watchdog Thailand (WDT) warned today it will prosecute anyone caught preparing “kai loom” or chicken in a pit, after the dish went viral online. YouTube channel “Mom Tanad Dak” started the craze with its latest episode devoted to “unusual recipes”. The episode shows a chicken buried alive, leaving only its head above ground. The chicken is then fed only coconut milk for two weeks before it is dug out to reveal an animal left featherless by the ordeal. The bird is then killed and grilled for what the show’s presenter says is its delicious featherless, coconut milk-fed flesh. Netizens responded to the video with disgust, attacking both the channel and the cook in comments below the video and elsewhere on social media. The channel’s owner eventually decided to delete the kai loom clip and offered an apology for introducing his audience to the cruel method of preparation. However, the WDT said it had already asked Ladprao police station to prosecute those involved in the video. The watchdog said it had previously brought people to justice in a similar case of animal cruelty involving the dish kai kati (chicken and coconut milk). WDT said this latest clip post was an obvious case of animal abuse, and torturing animals in this way before eating them was illegal under Department of Livestock Development laws for slaughterhouses. Under the Cruelty Prevention and Welfare of Animal Act, BE 2557 (2014), torturing animals is punishable by up to two years in prison and/or a Bt40,000 fine.

Matzzon Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 According to the Thai (Kai loom), it sounds to me that they are feeding coconut milk to an egg in a pit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go there WDT, Honestly, Is it a 'wonderful thing' to blame Buddhism AND the whole of Thailand for this one episode? ain't it disgusting? How strange it is the behaviour of the keyboard do-gooders (more will jump into this band wagon, for sure).

Proboscis Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Wait until they find out how Pate de Fois Gras is raised! Traditionally, a goose is kept in close confinement - in the old days it was tied by the leg to a corner in the kitchen so that it did not take any exercise. It was then force-fed hig-calorific food through a funnel at regular intervals. This would cause the liver to become enlarged and fat. Over time, the bird would become somewhat immobile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much Thai do you read? If you know any at all, you know the first letter of the Thai alphabet is ก.ไก่ (kaw kai). The word means chicken. It's on the cover of most first readers for children. Transliterating Thai is inaccurate at best, but this letter is usually is transliterated with K. To me, it sounds more like a hard G, but unvoiced and unaspirated. The 2nd letter is ข.ไข (khaw khai), the one you seem to be referring to. The word means egg. It's more commonly transliterated as kh. The H indicares that it's aspirated, that is, it's got breath behind it. Both words are short (eye) vowel sound, low tones, the only difference being the consonants. They're often confused if you don't read Thai. I've been reading Thai for 43 years. I have never met any westerner who speaks Thai well who doesn't also read it. Not trying to be mean here, but if you only meant it as a little joke, you bombed. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, like you mentioned with that it´s sound like a G. Yeah, darn man! You´re spot on! Like they say Kai Gai. Mean egg from chicken, right? Or do you hear them speak Kai Kai? ???? Wonder who´s bombed now? And, yes. It was not meant to be much serious. Guess it´s just you that needed to get your error invaded ego-trip.

Here the chickens are kept at lower densities and less birds to a cage..so they have more room. They do this not for animals welfare but because here it's too hot to keep them close together without then dying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulesMad Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I don't hear anyone complain about Wagyu or Kobe beef... These cows are subjected to a diet of 2-3 bottles of beer a day (real lucky ones drink sake!); they are massaged daily with beer as well... Aroi maak maak ????
