The rooster is washed with turmeric water.

And he shakes it off.

Ha! I survived the shower!

Brrrrr, I'm still wet.

Not again!

Now the end is near.

This knife hurts!

Decapitation in a quick move by the butcher.

Dammed, this knife is not as sharp as I thought.

Let the blood spout out.

Lift the body to get most of the blood out.

The body is thrown onto the dirt.

Where spasms make the body frantically jump up and fall down

It takes five to ten seconds before the Dance of Death is finished.

Wings flap, legs pull and claw.

Finally, the body of the rooster comes to a rest.

Oh no, one last spurt.

And this is my final pose.

Ooooh! That was brutal! Right?
