“if you dont thinK being bound up and swung around in the air IS traumatizing have someone try that with you.”
Since never in the history of chicken waiving rituals (AFAIK) have those squaking balls of feather ever uploaded their birdseeds (thrown up) upon the sinner’s head (although I can’t say the same about the downloading), I say we can safely assume those chickies are not human, and therefore, human attributes should not be applied to them, nor shall we feel the need to take their fears, anxieties, or traumas into consideration, nor be made to feel guilty.
