We recently began raising our own chickens for eggs, and it's opened my eyes to how animals should be treated. I love our girls' antics, their natural curiosity, and communing with them every day has become something I look forward to on the long drive home after work every day. I want that kind of a connection with everything that provides me nourishment. When a friend of mine asked if I could slaughter my own farm animals for meat, I suddenly realized that I could, if only to know that each animal had been given a good, natural life, and that it had been killed humanely. Yes, it would be hard, but shouldn't it be? By the way, the stories on your site have given me many smiles. Thank you for sharing.
