Yes, that's plain nasty. And they feel like such macho men, killing
animals from a distance, with a gun.

Yesterday I saw a baby chick that was unable to get up a wall. The little chick's sibling was able to scale the wall but this one was unable to follow its mom's example. I was a little worried because our cat was circling around the birds. Evidently our cat wasn't interested in all the racket the chick was making but my wife grabbed the cat and put her in the house anyway. Typically, you'll see these hens with about 8 chicks but this mother has only 2 left - such is the laws of nature.

I suppose it's about the central nervous system, or genetic proximity to
humans, or perhaps cuteness. Fish aren't as cute as cows and pigs.

I wonder what that says about people who even eat cows and pigs.

Those of us who remember when Barb regularly posted here know she posted
as Melba's Jammin' because she made lots of jam. She won a lot of
ribbons at county fairs for it.

Oh hell yes, it was, Cindy!
And what a nightmare! ;-[]

My Wifi went out 7 days ago.
So I switched to my alt free neighborhood Wifi.
That lasted 2 days then it went out too, 5 days ago.

All just came back on this morning.
(It's a MIRACLE!) (Gee thanks, God) (etc, etc) lol

So anyway, I just downloaded almost 900 'new' RFC messages - 5 days
worth. As I like to read all, that ought to keep me out of trouble for
awhile. lol

i do buy most of my meat from a meat market that sources the majority of
its products locally from free range farms.

If you're against child abuse, you're not judgmental. But if you're
against animal abuse -which obviously includes slaughtering them- you
are?

At least those animals haven't been tortured while they were alive.

There must be something wrong with people who do that.

Eight month old is nothing. There's one guy that shoots for 30
years minimum. A true post archaeologist I reckon.
