I love anything like this that helps me keep the faith. <br /><br />I live an hour from the heart of chicken house country. It makes my soul sick when I travel through the country where my daddy was born and my grandmother still lies and see the locals' livelihood so tied to the economy of raising chickens in those cages.LoLahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187821499828667788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-60151494606302317.post-55973891251510838422009-10-27T10:41:24.274-04:002009-10-27T10:41:24.274-04:00Eeeuughh

Don't miss it. I was vegan in the beginning and i'm vegan again now.<br />I think i prefer vegan. I was totally blind to the treatment of animals for food and when my eyes were opened through the book 'skinny bitch' i started a 'veggie lifestyle' and I'm happy about that!<br />As much as i hate seeing that sight in your photo - we need more awareness and education. Here too there are many ads for Go Veg!Kris Loyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01405589520914005676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-60151494606302317.post-85100625563665402902009-10-26T20:05:30.547-04:002009-10-26T20:05:30.547-04:00K, people overestimate meat ... so no wonder you d...K, people overestimate meat ... so no wonder you don't miss it.Elspethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818240263719381120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-60151494606302317.post-85728690927834323152009-10-26T17:56:46.261-04:002009-10-26T17:56:46.261-04:00For 7 years I ate no meat but seafood.

Then my daughter was born, and I went back to eating meat.<br /><br />In 2008, I gave up all meat except for seafood.<br /><br />In 2009, I gave up seafood. I'm coming up on 1 year of being officially vegetarian (though not vegan. I can't quite give up the dairy yet).<br /><br />I have to say, I am surprised how much I don't miss meat. Or seafood! I would've NEVER thought I'd get over seafood!<br /><br />Of course, posts like this help make my decision easier. <br /><br />Thanks for this.<br /><br />K.Chookooloonkshttp://ww.chookooloonks.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-60151494606302317.post-88303510646012133132009-10-26T12:18:30.300-04:002009-10-26T12:18:30.300-04:00Kim, I wouldn't even bother to look at that li...Kim, I wouldn't even bother to look at that link. <br /><br />Lynn, you never know what could happen.

I could feel your sadness and their stress.<br /><br />I raised chickens for a little bit.<br /><br />I was a vegetarian for seven years.<br /><br />I eat meat now but far less often after seeing http://www.foodincmovie.com/ which reminded me of all the reasons I stopped eating meat in the first place.<br /><br />Now, when I eat meat, I eat it from cows and pigs raised on local farms and killed there. If I had to kill my meat myself, I wouldn't eat it at all.<br /><br />I am not where I want to be here. It's a struggle.Kimberliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895074384157444895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-60151494606302317.post-42193952543793064622009-10-26T09:11:20.231-04:002009-10-26T09:11:20.231-04:00Victoria, yes I know you have a special love for y...Victoria, yes I know you have a special love for your pet chickens. <br /><br />Ticky, you have a point.Elspethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818240263719381120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-60151494606302317.post-67221007953560403092009-10-26T09:03:28.589-04:002009-10-26T09:03:28.589-04:00It really is heart-wrenching seeing animals in the...It really is heart-wrenching seeing animals in these type of conditions.

Not to mention the males are fabulous flamenco dancers, it just warms my heart when one of my roosters comes and gives me a little dance in a semi-circle.<br /><br />My 'chooks' come running and flinging themselves at me when they hear my voice. They know 'mummy' is calling them and a tasty meal is involved.<br /><br />VictoriaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
