Yes, I think I know to what you're referring and, though it may upset our sensibilities today, such was life at that time (and actually still is for most rural residents). I don't know if you're a vegan or not, but if you're not, the only difference between that and what you eat for your supper is that the process as been "sanitized" for your benefit and you don't have to do the dirty work yourself, just pick up your meat in a plastic wrapper in your grocery. (No snideness intended). Hugs, CatNipped |

I doubt very many people are that cruel. Yes I'm a vegan except for egg whites and milk. I used to eat chicken until we got some for eggs and they became pets. After you've had a chicken jump into your lap and take bread from your lips and ride on your arm like one of those peregrine falcons, .... it makes me laugh thinking about it... then it's hard to eat them. The same thing happened to me when I was exposed to cows at a horse ranch. |

The same thing happened to me when I was exposed to cows at a horse ranch. Personally, I don't think I could do that, either (although my parents killed and cooked a "pet" chicken when I was a kid - I refused supper that night). But I have to ask, which would you prefer to be, an animal that was loved, petted, cared for and then killed to provide sustenance, or an animal that is kept in a cage its entire life, force fed to be fattened up, and then herded into pens smelling of blood and fear to be slaughtered wholesale? I'd pick the first. Hugs, CatNipped |
