I'd rather people raising their own meat to eat because the meat industry nowadays especially with chickens is very brutal and inhumane.
But I agree with you, I could never ear a pet.

In the olden days a chicken would just be killed by having it's head cut of, quite humane, but now the chickens are gassed, electrocuted, bleed etc. So raising your own meat is far more humane then what they do today...

No, i don't disagree. I don't raise my poultry for meat, i just cannot get that personal but i respect the choice to do so.

I'm all for pets too, don't get me wrong. My first chicken was a pet, & I still enjoy spending time with my new chicks!

Really just depends on each person's wants/needs. I am actually surprised at how personable the chickens are lol But that has not decreased my love for cordon blue

I agree with the while inhunane. It makes me do mad bc we had to watch this movie called Food, Inc. in 20-21 cent (history class) & they give the chickens stariroids & they grow twice the size they were, they are do big they take two steps & fall over. The big houses they are in are so nasty. I'd rather eat my own chickens than out of the store bc IK what my chickens are eating & stuff.
 
It would seem that theres a problem with the main stream food supply as whole in the world. I saw something in the news today about horse meat labeled beef in england. As a chef I am interested in knowing where my animals come from. So my first babies come next wednesday I am soo super excited as I am an animal lover and have always liked animals but they are for the duel purpose of eggs and meat and fat and livers and mmmmmmm..... sorrry my fear is in the slaughtering as you are saying they are charming little buggers.
 
My very first slaughter was an aggressive Muscovy drake. He made it real easy for me. So worth it. So delicious. Best meat I ever ate! I understand Freakmonger, wanting to know where your food comes from. I am an animal lover as well & since moving to the country over 3 years ago, I see animals in a whole different way. I still love them, but I also appreciate them as food. The hens are lovely birds. Never got around to butchering a hen. If you get all drakes, should be easier to process. For whatever reason, they aren't as personable, at least to me. I ended up giving the rest away due to major landscaping work on our ponds. I can't wait to have them again! They will look fantastic on my ponds. I want to breed them to keep me in ducks for a long time!
