Woodchuck Scouts, sponsored by the Jeffersonian Institute, found a dead body floating in the Savage River.  Preliminary investigation of Cam and Wendell revealed that that the victim is a middle-aged male with missing fingers and tissue samples has a high content of hydrogen sulfide.  Wendell and Hodgins had a suspicion that the man could be an experimental subject of suspended animation.  Angela’s facial reconstruction revealed that the victim looks like a half-man and half-chicken.  In the autopsy room, Hodgins found a gapeworm in the victim’s neck, proving further that the victim might be a chicken super-soldier

Who doesn’t like conspiracy theory and the concept of super-soldier?  I just totally love it when Hodgins do this crazy conspiracy theory.  Then Brennan thinking about using worm for super-soldier just made me laugh.  I’m sure the writers of Bones had been laughing with these things – imagine, half-man and half-chicken.  Then you have half-man and half-worm.  To add more, Booth has to call DARPA to find someone who look like an animal… then Bulldog.  I just had to laugh.  It reminded me of my high school days.  We nicknamed one of our teachers – bulldog. LOL.  Unfortunately, though, we are not dealing with anything like super-soldier, because Angela’s sketch matched someone named Nick Rabin, the head of personnel at Clucksten Farms.

Brennan and Booth went to Clucksten Farms to find a group of animal (particularly chicken) right activist.  Guess what, they are swearing the people – CLUCK YOU.  LOL. They questioned the wife of the victim and so, the activists were pointed as possible suspects.  Brennan and Booth confronted Josh Parsons, the leader of the “cluck you” group and he called for Code Yellow.  And so the protesters poured a gooey yellow stuff on to them and cover them with feather.  It was a hilarious to see B&B that way (you can even see Emily can’t contain her laughter).

Josh was interrogated and he gave in by giving the raw video.  This turned out to be taken by the wife of the victim, who apparently fed up of getting threatening phone calls and so wanted the farm to get shut down.  She pointed another possible suspect, Roy Meyers.  Brennan and Booth then found out that Rob Meyers own a cigar cutter which could be use to remove the fingers of the victim.  This apparently was disprove by Hodgins.  And you also have Angela obviously disturbed about what had “happened“, taking the words of Hodgins and Cam as a reference to the incidence. Traces of electricity in the victim’s digit and beak-and-feather disease in the thumb pointed to Gina McNamara, the beak clipper, as a possible suspect.

In the Ookey room, Wendell became a guinea pig for a demonstration of the parameters of the murder weapon.  Cam’s face was so hilarious when Wendell was smashed with red paintbrush all over his face. Brennan then realized how the victim died.  The chicken plucker was brought to the lab.  Brennan demonstrated that the wrenching of the neck of the victim is due to the tie getting into the equipment.  She also suggested that a hand in the machine likely caused some of the strange markings on the skull (I’m sure all Brennan and Booth fans cheered, when they see Brennan’s hand on Booth’s face).  John Collins was called for an interrogation due to his record of having a broken hand.  It was then found out that John fought with the victim over a gas allowance.  He told B&B that it was as an accident.  Booth was about to believe him when Brennan proved that broken hand suggested that he pushed the victim’s head into the machine.

The After-thought:

At first, the case is interesting.  You have the element of super soldier and conspiracy theory but later you found out that it is nowhere near these things.  It was a story about a chicken farm and how they had mistreated chickens, which in irony, the head of the personell mistreated his employee.  I think the whole point of the case is not so much on who-done-it or not even mysterious in nature, but the writers and producers of the show wanted to give an insight to many people on how should animals be treated well.  They deserve a good place, and dignity if you may.  But again, this made me think, do we have to refrain from eating animals?  Shall we go for veggies for life?  Personally, I don’t want to!  I love chicken.  I love meat.  I am an omnivore.

We are also animals… well, we are classified as animals.  So, like those poor chickens, we should treat and be treated well.  If you are an employer, you should be able to put yourself in the shoes of your employee.  Understand what their concerns are and give what is appropriate for him or her.  What you give is what you get, so if you don’t want your face to be shove into a chicken plucker, I guess, it’s time to be human to them and don’t treat them like “animals”.
