Pill Popping Chickens – No Thanks

July 13, 2011 By The Editors

Rob Stein writesat The Washington Post, “A drug that farmers have given to chickens for decades is being pulled off the market after federal scientists found a potentially carcinogenic form of arsenic in the livers of animals treated with the substance.”

The drug is 3-Nitro and is produced by Pfizer. The FDA studythat found the arsenic danger in 3-Nitro said “Published scientific reports have indicated that organic arsenic, a less toxic form of arsenic and the form present in 3-Nitro® (roxarsone), an approved animal drug, could transform into inorganic arsenic.”

Administering drugs to chickens, even so-called “free range” chickens is not uncommon. As Dick Young noted on this website when he wrote Wow! Free Range Chickens, “It is clear that most free-range chickens are loaded with antibiotics and growth-promoting drugs. Talk about a festering stewpot. Feed these top-heavy, sad birds a crummy diet of industrial food and animal by-products and you may as well be dining on field rats. No thanks.”
