I should also state ive lived on a Ranch for 28 yrs as a young child to an adult I also raised Rabbits " i Created the New zealand Blues" Pigs for Pork Not the show sow Hardly any flavor in those and not Lard Hogs Either. We raised Cattle i bought 300 head for my ranch and a buffalo Bull Calf ... Yummy Home Grown food all killed Humainly and Also None skinned alive . I fish My first thing to do is a knife threw the Brain and thats Quick . I also hunt No Gut shots again Pain. Ive had to have day old kittens put down due to The Spinabifita and stopped breeding those lines all together . 5000.00 Per cat 3 cats . Tell me its not for the money cause i can prove it is . No one likes being poor but id rather spend my money on animals that have had a good life . The meat tastes better .
 
There is a difference between a FARM animal (meaning an animal purposely raised for food) and a PET.
Exactly my point here!

I don't care if you raise puppies and kittens to be raised as food, good for you! In the US, there has been problems with people NOT wanting to deal with it and why we won't eat them.

If I had to, I would eat dogs, cats, rabbits, horses and snakes, llamas, etc. when I am really needing meat.
 
Another problem with people is that they whine and whine about a problem but do nothing to solve it. They sit on their couch and complain and say they can do nothing. People are too afraid of failure!
 
That's pretty common. Lots of people feel that "somebody should do something" but they never think that the "somebody" should be them instead of waiting for someone else to deal with the problem for them.
 
Agreed Oregon Blues, that has been my point on this subject, people saying is a waste to get rid of these male chicks that way could easily get their hands on a bunch and cheaply at that, and apparently not lose money on them according to previous postings.

Yes, and the difference is I raise one for food, and the other for companionship. However, there is a also an important similarity between FARM animal and PET: Both have the capacity to suffer and therefore deserve to be treated humanely.
 
So why not find these INHUMANE meanies and take the blender babies home...grow them and sale them...their loss is your profit!

Don't know if you were talking to me, but if you were, I wasn't necessarily saying that grinding unwanted chicks is inhumane. I'd have to see it to know. If it takes just a split second before it's over, then I would say it's not a bad way to go. In my last post, I was merely making the point that I think both pets and livestock should be treated humanely since both have the capacity for suffering. This often seems to be a point of contention, with many people believing that time and resources should not be "wasted" on treating livestock humanely.
