Clueless

You have no clue how I feel about the suffering of living things. You assume that I’m desensitized to suffering because I raise and butcher my own food . I have a much more heightened awareness of what animals experience during their lifetimes. My animals live in wide open spaces, lay eggs in nests they create, and are fed a diet that’s based on their health and not how fast they grow. After all, they end up in my (and my kid’s) bodies .
Even slaughter is quick, clean, with minimal anxiety. Mother Nature herself isn’t so kind.

This statement is a boldfaced lie. “Children who harm animals have a potential for criminal violence later. Fact, if you study juvenile delinquency.” An accurate statement would read “Children who torture animals….” The facts are that kids who are raised hunting , fishing , and farming have a lower propensity for violence and even lower delinquency rates than the national average. It can be argued that this stems from a more active role played by parents (esp. fathers) in their kid’s lives. But that’s another thread.

I cannot be patient with your assumptions because your irrationality overrides any logical argument. You have been spoon fed media hype and PETA bullet points for so long that you equate any animal use with Agri-business and the likes of Michael Vick .

Get out of the city once in awhile. Visit a family -owned farm. Bring your kids with you.
