And I contribute to this, for I still eat cheese, butter, use cream. . .
If I had cows, they'd be milked, but the milk would be shared with the calf. How much would be there for us? A quart a day? A half gallon? It's enough. Wouldn't kill 'em until they were old and arthritic, and they had a hard time moving. Haven't thought of how they'd be killed. I'd try to find a humane way, and their carcass would feed the carnivours that lived on the land.
Might eat out in a couple of weeks. Think I'll skip the chicken. Had over quota this year, when I bought some for guests. They didn't eat that much, and it was too much for the cats, my flat mate is vegetarian, so I ate it. I'm open to eating more in the future, but that doesn't mean I will.
I like chickens. Alive. They're nice if you treat 'em right. And I wouldn't kill the roosters. They're good for feather art during molting season, and they'd be considered 'pets' to spoil.
I do buy chicken and turkey for the cats, though. The highest grade, minimally processed cold cuts. That would be Trader Joe's. They love it.
