Me too. I very much admire their dedication to family, community and faith but after that, it's a bit of a stretch.
I hate seeing their horses standing out in the sun, tethered to a post in the heat of a summer day and a conservation officer once told me that the Amish were one of the reasons they were having trouble increasing the wild turkey population. When they have a turkey die, they toss it in a ditch instead of responsibly disposing of it where whatever the turkey died of was passed along to the wild turkey population.
I highly suspect that whatever strain of Marek's my flock is suffering from, the local Amish poultry has built up some sort of resistance to it.
