It is somthing that has to be well thought out before hand I agree. Even as a hunter I struggle mentally over killing my chickens for meat. But it helps to remember that every chicken I eat of my own is one that WASNT inhumanely raised and processed. Mine get treated with the utmost respect right up to the table. And that means alot to me knowing this bird had a decent life, and death. Of course there are always the few that get named and have endearing personalities that make them family. Pets. But I think that just means I have a decent soft heart inspite of my ability to kill things for food. Thanks this was great food for thought.
