Quivering chicken
~From I Am a Strange Loop
by Douglas Hofstadter, pages 18-19:Would you feel any less troubled by swatting a fly preening on a wall than by beheading a chicken quivering on a block?
I like how he uses the words preening and quivering to describe the animals! Don't behead the quivering chicken! It's quivering, for goodness sake!
And to answer the question: No, I would feel more troubled because beheading the chicken would just be more of a mess.
