Well deahr, that's Southern for dear, ok I watched Good and Evil in the Garden of Midnight. When I used to hunt all my meat was killed humanely. As to now I use a small butcher shop down the road, the kills are humane and the meat is pure. An advantage of living in the country. E coli could be prevented if all beeves were fed only hay for 5 days prior to slaughter. <<mooing and crying as they're marched to their brutal and gruesome death and if that didn't make you ill,>> Same as they do horses for over seas sales. I have set up a trust to see this doesn't happen to my wife's horses. <<THe cow is already dead, I don't want to render his life meaningless.>> I'm with you there. I'm 50, an alcoholic and a smoker, eggs are what I call a veggie. Just did a complete heart work up, abnormal for lack of any problems. I also stop to pick up fresh road kill. I mean I see it get killed. Had two pheasant dinners last year.

Penni, If the cow is already dead, and is a he, their life is already meaningful. I was always amazed at the gusto with which Japanese and Thais (good Buddhists) polished off huge mounds of flesh -- beef. whale, pork -- without a whimper of religious remorse. A study (they're always doing those) showed that coastal Thai fishing villages thought that killing fish was just fine, while rice growing (but fish eating) villages thought catching them was awful. One solution often proposed is that one should kill only to eat and eat only animals one has killed. I go one step farther, and suggest that people raise and eat only their pets. Or, perhaps even better, I believe that capital punishment would work much better if the murderer (and his family) were required to consume the victim and the relatives of the deceased consumed ritually the killer and his family, Then as the fine old Yorkshire song "On Ilsly Moor Baht Hat" suggests right after "and then we shall eat up dooks!" "Then we shall have our loved ones back!"
