Noooo...a tree's never to big to hug!

 

[Wickedchicken6]

What's wrong with that? I like my trees.

Did you hug your trees?

Anything for tendon issue? My chick is about 2 wks old. I didn't think she would make it and I just couldn't cull her as she doesn't show evidence of pain. She now is back under the heatplate with the other chicks and maneuvers out to eat on her own. I force myself to cull for serious illness. But she just seems to rise above, everytime. I know it sounds crazy to some of you to even give her a chance, but her eyes are bright and she works hard. I expected her not to eat and pass.

I'm wondering if she has a chance in a coop of docile birds like silkies. She will draw attention to herself by how she moves differently. She's doing less walking on her wings, though. What do you think?

I've been accused of a lot of things in my life (some are even true), but being a tree hugger has never been one of them.

Nah... Too many of them.

You are correct, any tree can be hugged if you take a hunk our of it with a Jonsered....

My husband calls people who don't hunt bunny huggers lol.

Huh? Never said you condoned it.

Why? How's that even a question? Killing them quickly reduces suffering... Like how stomping on a bird until it dies makes it dead, but it suffers significantly before it dies. Shooting them in the head destroys brain function immediately.
All things have to die some time, and it is our responsibility to take care of them in the interim and give them as good of a life as they possibly can have. Giving them a quick death is part of that care.

I really don't get why this is even a discussion.

No, but you think that I agree to this, even that I did do it?
Lets imagine that you could give this poor rooster an option to choose between 1 of only 2 option :
1. To pass this brutal treatment and stay alive
2. To be swiftly killed by your hend
What do you think he would choose?

5 days a week? Their union demand 2 days off?

That's only teacher unions demands!

Bunnies are soft.

No, but you think that I agree to this, eve1. Cruelty have not a fixed definition, it is by the viewer point of view.n that I did do it?

Huh? How'm I supposed to know? He's a chicken. I don't know how they think.

This has entirely no relation to my first post on the matter, which was more pointing to the fact that no matter what way you paint it, he was causing entirely unnecessary pain. You seemed to be trying to say that it wasn't different from anyone else hunting or killing an animal for food. I responded with an opinion to the contrary. And yes, cruelty does have a fixed definition... "Callous indifference to or pleasure in causing pain or suffering." I'd say dislocating/breaking a chicken's legs to advertise a product that is 99.9% likely a quack falls under that umbrella of callous indifference.


Discussion over... I see no profit from this.
