oh my.....
really...
but killing any animal(or fowl, fish) is not my cup of tea..be it a horse, emu ,cow, sheep, goat or pig(which are supposed to be more highly untelligent than dogs are.)
...in the book called when Elephants Weep there is a chapter about a gorilla whose mom was hunted and killed for 'bush mea't(very popular in some african countries, even though it's illegal to kill gorillas for their meat it's still done a lot ..it's considered 'downhome' cooking like fried chicken is in the USA for example)
anyway the gorilla child was taken to a zoo/facility..i believe in the USA..where he was taught to sign as part of a well-known research program..and as soon as he learned to sign wellenough...he signed about the experienceof watching his mom be killed in front ot his eyes. |

 Dm, it cracks me up how you do everything from your phone! So nimble!
Jasminerosey, that is a sad/beautiful story. What never occurred to me was that cow milk comes from cows who just had a baby, which was then taking away from them - and how they suffer. They will cry and cry and cry for their baby until their voice is completely gone 
So sad.
It's pretty naive, I just thought they had bred cows that just always give milk or something  I guess I just tried not to think about it too much.
One of my friends just read 'eating animals' by Jonathan Safran Foer (who also wrote 'everything is illuminated')
http://www.amazon.com/Eating-Animals-Jonathan-Safran-Foer/dp/0316069884/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1284668824&sr=8-1
I haven't read it myself but he said it's quite the eye opener. |
