  That chicken was still alive, the largest part of the chicken's brain remained intact. Not exactly not "attached to a conscious animal".

    It says that the brain stem was still attached, and it controlled most reflex actions. I wouldn't consider that a 'conscious' animal, especially with the reduced sensory input. The point is, you could lobotomize animals to make 'conscious' animals unconscious, basically turning it into a vegetable. Is that what you want though?
