BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

[Chicken Egg 17]

Tbh no food goes to waste. It feeds other animals like mice, rats, squirrels and racoons. Although I dont like them they need to eat. Its just how it goes. They eat the garbage, eagles or owls eat the rodents and the eagles eventually die and something eats them. So nothing goes to waist.

Ya but wild animals are raised to find there own food they don't depend on us to feed them unless someone tamed one and has it as a pet and then relapses it in the wild

I don't mind eating meat it's just the only thing that makes me not like to eat meat and bother me to kill my own is the fact that all those people in the world let there kids waste all of that meat and throw it in the garbage and it's like an animal lost its life to be on ur plate and made of a meal not to be in the garbage for a raccoon to dig for it and throw our garbage all over the street looking for that little peice of meat and this fishing thing is getting out of control the way they put those fish in the big tanks with no water dieing slow death for people to waste it when I have kids they ain't leaving that table until they finish there meat or they arnt eating anything else until that meat is off there plate and in e fridge for another meal or ey aren't leaving that table until they finish and if ey don't eat it at all and don't want to eat it then they arnt going to eat anything then for the next meal for the day or if it's the last meal for that day then they arnt going to be eating breakfast I know it may sound cruel but I am not going to be raising lazy kids that think they are going to set and play video games all day they are going outside going to eat there food and not waste it they can get rid of there scraps but we ain't throwing out no whole heck of chicken unless u are feeding it to our pets to feed them and not wasting it to feed to some wild animal they know how to find there own food without us feeding them

You are certainly entitled to your point of view. I have mine and it differs a bit from some folks on this thread as well. However, I do not routinely post every thought that passes through my mind, and I do not make a post every single time that I do not agree with someone - both of which you keep doing. There are MANY times in life when it is better, and considered proper etiquette, to NOT mention that you do not agree with someone.

You are failing to grasp the concept that this thread is for people who wish to discuss the use of animals as FOOD. You have made it clear that you don't want to eat eggs or meat. We understand that and we don't have a problem with your viewpoint. The problem is that you have failed to master the social skills necessary to recognize that your posts have become tedious and annoying. This is a group of people that have specifically banded together on this thread to discuss poultry as food products. Most everyone on this thread is here because they do not wish to upset the majority of people who are pet chicken keepers, by discussing poultry as food on the various threads where the majority only wishes to discuss chickens as cute and fluffy beings. For you to continue your posts here, reminding everyone that you don't like what we do with our poultry, is bad manners.

Well I am trying to get past that thought but someone keeps saying something about it and I have something to say back and a few of them were asking a question but yet some people are still saying more about it I will try and not say anything else about it unless I absolutely have something to say that I think needs to be said back to that person I am sorry if I offended anyone but I am not trying to I was just giving my opinion but then everyone is asking about it when it started and let ur family starve? And yet then more questions and some the same question just stop it wasn't meant to throw he hole thread off track

when I have kids they ain't leaving that table until they finish there meat or they arnt eating anything else until that meat is off there plate

1st: How many of us said, "When I have kids ..." back in the day? And what happened once we had kids?

2nd: "If ye don't eat yer meat, ye can't have any puddin'!
How can ye have any puddin' if ye don't eat yer meat?!"

Age check ... if you recognize that, you are as old or older than I am.

LOL - I'm hearing the voice in my head saying that now. Sigh. Yet another day I feel so darn old.

I once had the honor or listening to an elderly lady tell stories of her father's life. I won't do the story I'm going to share any justice, but I'll give it a try. It was the early 1900's in Montana. It was winter. Her father was 8 years old and the oldest of many children. His father, her grandfather, had just died after being sick for several weeks. When they came home from the burial his mother, baby on her hip, put his father's rifle in his hands and said "You're the man of the family now. Go out and shoot something or we'll starve." And so he took the gun and set out into the snow to hunt game. He brought home a deer.

While I would never make a child shoulder the responsibility of feeding a family, I certainly want to make sure that mine are fully equipped to do so one day. The ability to cook and acquire food (not from a grocery store) are really, really basic skills that everybody should know. Food is so easily taken for granted nowadays but yet it's one of the few things in life we can't live without.

We live in a time where it's "hard" to cook food from ingredients purchased at the store. It's even harder to "man up" and accept the responsibility of providing food; real food that grows from the ground or is packaged only in fur, feathers, or scales; food that you grew and raised, harvested and slaughtered. It's difficult for many to understand nature's cycle of death and rebirth. It's even more difficult to truly understand that you must cut a life short, whether it be plant or animal, so that you might live another day and that you do so with every bite you take.

Not so long ago a whole roast chicken was considered a special dinner, recipes used small quantities of meat and/or offal, and animals were butchered to honor a guest or mark an important event. Now chicken is "cheap" and meat is the main course at every meal.

AMEN!

So much has been lost, including nutrition, because too many people don't know how to do anything except to heat up processed food in a microwave. That's why people do so poorly in areas that wind up without utilities after bad storms. They don't know how to feed, clothe, or shelter themselves without FEMA sending in trucks to give them things.

Thank you, I could not have put it that nicely. I am taking bets on how long it will last!
