I hear you, but try cutting through a chicken bone with poultry shears. uncooked and cooked. I think you'll see a difference.
Our Pack (6 dogs) has gone through about 10 thousand pounds of raw meaty bones in the last 8 years or so. Most of that chicken. I admit I use to cringe when I heard them crunching bones like candy, but it really is safe.
Now. That being said, you also have to use common sense. Our little corgi mix will bolt her food without even chewing it if she can, so we have to make sure she gets bite size pieces instead of something that might choke her. A big dog like a Rottweiller can handle turkey neck bones, but a small dog would have too much trouble biting through them etc.
There are many raw-feeding boards on yahoo if anyone is interested in learning more. Lots of people to talk to and get advice from. Just search on BARF (bones and raw food) or raw feeding.
