I found these two images side-by-side on UR-VEG, The Vegetarian Education Group at The University of Rochester.
The caption read: "A diagram form the Handbook of Avian Anatomy shows that the sensory nerves in a hen's face extend nearly to the tip of her beak. Compare this with a photo of a mutilated hen at Wegmans Egg Farm: nearly half of her beak has been burned off."
Poor hen! But there are many questions that arise from this image, including the authenticity of this hen's snapshot.

that's kind of a powerful comparison... i imagine it would be a bit like break off a tooth deep into the root nerve. also a good point regarding the possible dubbing of the photo.
