Excuse me, I am not talking about factory farms. We buy our meat
directly from the farmer so I do know what I'm talking about. Have you
ever seen any animal slaughtere?

Well that's nice and totally explains your position. Hopefully you
don't use that potty mouth around your son! Someone doesn't agree with
you so you resort to name calling? Very mature! BTW, how does the
organic farmer kill the poultry? I buy from the farmer beef, pork,
chickens and eggs. All but the eggs must be killed and if you haven't
seen it done, it really isn't all the pretty. I've been there when the
animals were killed so I know what I'm talking about. These are large
farm factories either.

What I think here is you are being very judgemental regarding something
you know nothing of and trying to puff yourself up as superior because
somehow you eat humanely killed meat when you know nothing of the
killing conditions. Would like like a rabbit foot for good luck?
