Yes, from what I've seen this is the primary objection (aside from realpolitik considerations i.e. wanting to keep agricultural prices high).

Salad has routinely been chlorine-washed in Europe for years, and nobody complains about that.

I hope most people would agree chickens are a bit more sentient than salad.

They are about as sentient as the salad when this washing we are talking about occurs. (I really hope I understood it correctly that this happens after they have been killed)

The point isn't when the washing occurs, it's in what conditions they have to be kept in before that to either require or not require washing.
