Our winners will get a chance for and all expense paid trip to our headquarters in Arkansas, where we’ll let you execute hundreds of chickens yourself using your suggestion. Bonus points are awarded to any idea that can kill over a thousand chickens simultaneously or cause them to squawk in immense pain for over 24 hours. All right, time to get creative!” At press time, Tyson Foods announced that the first winner, a Twitter user who submitted the idea of cramming dozens of chickens into a tank and pouring chicken blood into it until they all gradually suffocate on the blood and die, was at company headquarters getting a photo op with the CEO.
