It is pretty awesome. Yay capitalism. Were you expressing agreement or disagreement? Or just general enthusiasm for being able to buy tasty animals instead of having to bloody your own knife?

Add: "...without killing me in the process." :) I couldn't take even one season of Jersey Shore.....

LOL... thanks! I appreciate the effort, though I'm not sure anyone on this planet has the power to stop one of my trainwrecks.... :D

Quote: I think in this case they were positing The End of the World as we Know it, a scenario where everyone needs help and if someone steals your chickens you won't be able to replace them, or have any more eggs to give away. In that scenario I could completely see preemptively sharing...

Who? I tried googling, but I don't think you meant the Higgins Armory Museum http://www.higgins.org/ :)

Wow... is it really that outré? Seems clear as interstellar vacuum to me. Killing (put whatever weasel words you want there) has ethical ramifications regardless of what you are killing. Sometimes those ramifications are slight (e.g. killing a bacterium), sometimes they are substantial...

Hmm.. Let's try this way: Someone mentioned a person who thought everyone who eats meat should slaughter at least one animal by their own hand. I don't buy that. If you kill an animal and eat it there are ethical ramifications. Paying someone to kill is killing. Buying something which can...

I don't usually buy "everyone should _____" about anything. But.... If you eat meat, you cause animals to be killed. It does not matter whether you do the killing and butchering yourself, you pay someone to do it for you, or you receive the finished product. The moral responsibilities...

I suspect there basic message was, "I'm using a tablet or phone with 'autocorrection' of the 'malapropisms everywhere' school." Been there myself. :( Since I deal with that a lot (and %*$&$!Ing hate it when my tablets and phones do it to me) I can safely translate it as: ...I'm only thirty so...

The problem is that the real world isn't so clear cut. Plenty of food animals are raised in wholesome environments with very little devil worship. Given that this forum is about back-yard chickens, I'd say that any discussion of factory farms or conventional farm practices is totally missing...

I've been looking at that. I'm not too far, depending on where the group meets. I work in Allen so north Dallas isn't far. I'm still going through the "making sure I can have/raise them" stage now (e.g. this morning I visited my town's city hall to see what I'm allowed, and what the rules are)...

For a lot of people it's just experience and exposure. I grew up in a metro area of about 18 million humans. The only animals I had any contact with were pets and zoo animals. There was no hunting, no farming, not even any vegetable gardening among people I knew. The closest I ever came to...
