Some folks just like doing that sort of thing and some don't. I learned to change a tire, change the oil, change the fuel filter and other minor repairs on the car because such things are easy to do and learn and can help me get through life easier. I rather like learning new things that will...

Nope again. No one is out there telling about butchering day or wanting a pat on the back to provoke negative responses from the public and family and friends. Small town, small neighborhoods, small family or social groups so everyone knows what everyone else is up to and most of the bleeding...

I agree. There are many, many, many abusing these programs and that is a fact. But, there are also many who are working, have worked all their lives and paid into these programs and then have need of them and that was their intended purpose, which is just fine with me. I've been one of...

No one said it was more important than anything else...that's your words. Folks just saying it's of great benefit to any person to have more versatility and skill sets in their lives that do not require dependence on "modern society". Do you imagine that the current infrastructure of the...

Actually, I could go right along with the whole dependence on electricity and gadgets thread, as I don't have or watch TV nor a cell phone and have lived off grid for a large portion of my life growing up and could do it again in a heartbeat...actually, we still aren't too dependent upon the...

I've lived where commercial poultry houses are numerous and actually spoken to the people who work there, as well as listened to the stories of the filth and horror at the local processing plant for Perdue. I've driven by and smelled the stink of death of the many chickens dying in those...

You've seen how commercial chickens are raised and processed and you still want to put that in your mouth? All the meat recalls for antibiotic resistant bacteria and you still feel good about eating those birds, raised in crowded conditions and dying from it all and you are apprehensive about...

Sounds like my folks....vegan for over 15 yrs but Dad was a bowhunter, so still killing deer for his grown kids and Mom still gutted, skinned and processed all the deer for all the guys in the family.

Quote: All these people are alike in one way. They eat. Killing an animal for food isn't really a natural aptitude, though there are some who are more talented at hunting or skilled with a knife. Killing one's own food is an acquired skill and anyone who has hands can do it...I daresay...

Quote: And from the FDA website..... Quote: Steroid Hormone Implants Used for Growth in Food-Producing Animals Since the 1950s, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a number of steroid hormone drugs for use in beef cattle and sheep, including natural estrogen, progesterone...

It seems to have spread like an epidemic throughout the more developed countries, faster and more deeply hooked in than an Ebola outbreak. They all say the same things, have the same reaction, give the same replies to logic on the matter....it's like they are infected with the exact same virus...

It is. Sad that folks go out of their way to try and make folks that weary, isn't it?

And there it is again...tough enough to slit a chicken's throat, so one must not have much sensitivity. Such stereotyping and presuming that A. One must have a tough heart and hide if they slit a chicken's throat, and B. That they lack any sensitivity because they can kill an animal. Does...

No one has insulted you at all, at any time. But, I'll help you in your efforts. If you'll look beneath my screen name there is a list and you can choose to "ignore" me from now on. Then you'll never see another one of my posts again unless you wish to do so.

The OP sets the tone for "what we are talking about" and the post you quoted was just a continuance of that theme, wherein the discussion is people who get upset about people killing and eating their own chickens and cannot seem to see the integrity of doing so if one is to be a meat eater...

Why do we care? Because we are routinely attacked, maligned and accused of being hard-hearted and cruel because we choose to kill and eat our own animals~ by the very people who contribute to the cruelty of CAFOs by eating commercially raised meat. Now, if they want to just shut up about how...

This describes my entire chickening life, even amongst my own family, who were raised on homegrown and butchered chickens but who will now call me a chicken murderer when I do the same thing. And they eat meat like it's going out of style, particularly chicken. Just not their own. Won't...

He will, you know. That's who I depend upon for courage and strength to kill the chickens that are necessary to kill. I rely on Him exclusively for that and also for direction in my flock strategies, to show me good stewardship of the animals He has entrusted to me. Pray about it and ask Him...
