Thinking more about Temple Grandlin..
It really struck a chord with me as I grew up on a ranch seeing it all, "the good, the bad and the ugly".. We, our place, tried to keep it as humane as possible, but that's really IMPOSSIBLE, considering the state of things in that society at that time and if one is to raise another life, for beef or chicken or lamb or fish, only to EAT..
"They" didn't care or know.. But we tried to do the best we could..
But it wasn't good enough..:(
But we tried to do it as good, as one could it.. We weren't "trying" to be cruel at the time, to send these innocent lives on to those in the city or suburbs and their supermarkets, THAT never gave a thought to where that life came from.. It WAS just THERE in the meat counter for them... We and THEY didn't know any better..
Actually ALL meat eaters, animal, fish or fowl SHOULD kill their own meal sometime and look into the other's eye before they have to die.. Maybe they would get a wake up call.. Hopefully, but who knows??
We understand, so we will NEVER eat veal, lamb or ANY other cruelly fed force fed bird or animals and their organs.. Especially where they force feed so very cruelly in a small space, like geese to make, FORCE FEEDING, fois de gras, a "delicacy" or whatever it is called.. One of the most cruel of ALL and it says so much for those that will consume and condone that practice.... ;(
People that do or ENABLE that kind of behavior are just NOT GOOD people.. :(
They are just f'ng cruel and no good.. :( |
