Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Chickens

[Ron Ingram (ingramr88]

Ok. What about just eggs? Not raising them for meat.

I am a believer that meat is okay if it is properly sourced and used as a
side addition....not as the entree. I tried to be vegan but I got really
weak and sick. I am anemic. As much as I fantasize about being vegan, it's
not the best for me and maybe others.

But chickens are animals that humans can easily catch and keep without
harmful weapons. If we raise them without hormones, additives, and
pesticides, the poison is not there, nor is the negative energy that comes
from the mass production from keeping them in bad conditions. I'm from the
country and my brother used to work at a chicken factory from a big named
brand company of which I will not name. He quit due to developing
respiratory issues from working there.

I have also had the pleasure of knowing a very wealthy family who owned
horses cows and chickens. She would take her animals to the slaughter house
when it was time. It was done in a humane and healthy way with dignity and
respect. And the meat was amazing. She only ate a little at a time, not
mass consuming.

Thanks for your response. I asked for comments because I want to be
considerate of my neighbors.
