Welcome glad your here. After 7 years I’m still learning. I’m sorry you had such a heartbreaking experience. I’m soft hearted, so far I haven’t been able to kill any to eat🤷🏼‍♀️, but I have gave a couple to a neighbor for there stew pot.

Well I’ve only been through it once but it will be coming up here again in 10 weeks or so. I cried a few times, had to go indoors, gather myself and go back out again. I did that several times before I got myself straight. I’m a therapist with my own clinic. I spend my life helping others with pain and disability so hurting a living thing is not in my DNA. My husband actually kills them in a cone after I put a jacket on them I made to protect their wings and keep them comfortable, and then I eviscerate after scalding. We have a plucker so the whole process is very fast from that respect. I just know I have given them a great life, loved them everyday, and now we will have them for our sustenance. They are a blessing to us. It is hard, but, I want to know what my animals I consume eat and how they live. I feel better about eating them thinking about it this way. The Lord provides them for us to eat or use for eggs. I try to see it that way too. Frankly, for me, I don’t think it will ever be easy. Nevertheless, it’s necessary to do for our survival.
The public places cannot provide this quality of food for us to eat. Nor do they care to. In the state of this country and the globe, I think it’s smart to put our emotions aside and get down to brass tacks. We may not survive if we aren’t self sufficient. It seems those in power want us to fail. Having said that, I personally have to learn to toughen up a bit and see what needs to happen within me so that I can survive what’s to come. I’m working on it. I also grow as many of my own veggies as I can. Veggies in the stores have zero minerals having been harvested too soon. So, although growing your own takes time and commitment whether it be meat or veggies, in my opinion it’s the only way to go if you have the means.
