  response to  Andrew Price's post Killing Animals For Food

  meat maker

  We do raise our own meat. We raise goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, turkeys and rabbits on our family farm. We know each one since birth. The kids love them as babies and with the complete understanding which ones will not always be around except on the dinner table. As the livestock get older and the cuteness wears off and taking care of them becomes a chore its not that hard to wean yourself from that fluffy love connection. We used to butcher all the large stock ourselves but we have a friend that has opened a butcher shop and now we send the animals to him. We still process the rabbits, chickens and turkeys ourselves. Torture? Pain?
  Stress? The animals are kept cool and calm. There is no wild look in their eyes, no fear. The end comes quickly and instantly. Vegans, you cannot force all humans to become vegetarians any more than you can force lions to eat grass or keep goats out of the rose bushes.
