OMG - that is so like me. I have a hard time just taking the shells off shrimp and the first time I bought a chicken and had to clean out the cavity, I thought I'd toss my cookies. My mom laughs her head off at me. When she and her family lived on the farm, they also chopped the heads off of chickens and then they like to tell us how the chickens would run around the yard for a few minutes without their heads.
All I can say is, if I HAD to do that to survive, I could, but until that point comes along, I'm not going anywhere near food that looks like what it is.

I buy whole fresh duck from the Asian Grocery quite often. The feet and head are still attached, which did surprise me the first time I bought it.
I cut off the feet and neck using poultry sizzors. I cut off the head from the far end of the neck and let it drop, untouched (ugh) into the garbage can. I cook the duck, saving the duck fat for later use (yum). Then the neck, feet and carcass (big bones are cracked with a hammer) get put in boiling water for a couple of hours. The feet and the bone marrow contain a large amount of collagen which makes the broth spectacularly flavored. The next night: Asian duck noodle soup.
Two meals out of one duck, making the price not as bad as it initially seems.
