Slaughtering Chicken

The father asked the son to hold the chicken legs and wings, and he used a knife to cut the throat and let the blood flew into a container. 
This is how a typical countryside family celebrates the Chinese New year when the children come back from afar.
It brought back my memory when my mother asked me to hold the legs and wings while she slaughtered the chick. I felt so disgusted of the blood that I looked away from the scene, but I could feel the struggle of the chick and the life slipped away as the struggle weakened.
I would not be able to imagine how human could slaughter human like that in this modern world!
