This is full of ignorance, sad, pathetic, ignorance. The countless references to steroids, hormones, and genetically modified chickens gave me a headache.

Some time it is so hard to set these people straight. I don't even know where to begin...

Quote: Actually, Copperhead bites that result in death are just about unheard of. The current recommended treatment (except for small children, facial bites and those showing signs of an allergic reaction) is simply monitor the bite in-hospital, as most of the treatments for snake bites (like antivenin and fasciotomy) can have longer-lasting ill effects than a copperhead bite.

I'm a snake person, and the crazy stuff people consider facts about snakes is way, way worse than any of the 'dumb things' people say about my chickens.

I recently butchered some meat birds for the first time ever. I want to provide food for my table and have eggs from my hens and veggies from the garden and wanted to also provide meat. (I can't afford to raise and butcher red meat so opted for chickens).

My BYC friends give me encouragement and praise for doing it. But family members make me feel mean and terrible. They say things like, "Oh, how could you do something like that! I could never kill something I named and raised from a baby, that's gross" Sometimes I wonder if we are really related.

Don't let anyone make you feel bad. Do these people eat meat? If so, how is what you are doing worse than commercial meat packing places? At least you know your animals were treated & killed humanly. I think what you are doing is admirable, taking care of yourself & family is a GOOD thing.

I like animals of all kinds. I do not cry when I have a delicious steak, chicken breast, pork chop, and so on. God (or who ever you think) put them here for a reason and it's a tasty reason too.

Rabbits would be good for meat as well

I'd guess those family members don't remember their teenagers.

Same. The only thing idL is the dairy/veal (chicken companies 2) industry at least this one company i saw in a video. I enjoy eating meat as the next person but the big chicken industrys are pretty bad.
