It's easier if you are not too attached. I didn't plan on getting chickens, they sort of came to me and I didn't think I'd fall in love with the funny little creatures and how much personality they have! I got completely caught out. I don't slaughter my chickens and I don't eat chicken meat or products, expect the odd egg from my hens. With my pigs though, I decided before I bought them that they are for slaughter and I did my best not to grow attached to them. Which was hard! Same with chickens I just didn't expect them to have such personality and be so darn adorable. Yes, Pigs! I allow myself to love my chickens and enjoy them as pets and I do care about all my animals, to some extend, but I try to be practical. Like with the pics. You simply have to be!
