Why? If it had been raised for food, at least you were not wasting his life

No, I wouldn't have laughed at you, but I would have thought it at least
celebrated his life.

Our former next door neighbours had free range chickens for a couple
years. The girls used to come over to our yard and would often show up
around dinner time. First one would appear, then another and there
would soon be a dozen or more. One day the neighbour gave us a couple
dressed birds and that night I was cooking one of them when the hens
made their rounds. I guess they didn't realize that the aroma coming
from the gas grill was one of their sisters being cooked.

I know a couple guys who had raised a few sheep and would not eat lamb.
They attributed it to the stink of the sheep. They get pretty messy in
the back end and have to be cleaned up frequently.

My father was raised on a rabbit ranch during the Depression. We never
had rabbit at home when I was a kid.

There is good reason for newly hatch chicks to be de-beaked for
shipping. Pigs can be even worse. They will eat anything, including
humans. When we first moved here the neighbours had about a half dozen
pigs. They used to tie their dog up back there. One day the dog was
sleeping and leaning against the fence of the pig pen. One of the pigs
bit off the end of his ear.

You might be a cute chick yourself, but it would be sexist and

Chickens don't give a toss about one of their own being dead, or
cooked for that matter. They just get on with their tomfowlery.
Same with most animals, now that I think of it.

Yep, there's little to no emotional attachment in most animals.

Even possums here (not the same animal as in Nth America), supposedly
vegetarian... nope. I used to come across a roadkill possum
occasionally and see it's partner next to it, thinking the poor thing
is devastated at losing it's partner... nope. It took a while but I
realised in these cases, the partner was actually eating the dead one.

Truly, turkeys the same, they would gang up on one that was pecked and had a
drop of blood or disability and tear at it. The toms dancing around with
their tails fanned even.

My parents used to let us older kids have a few turkeys around the holidays,
we would kill, pluck etc., and sell them to our neighbors for Christmas
money. That was a long time ago though, and I don't care to do it now,
probably not even legal.

That's exactly the reason that I have never caught one to eat. Heck, even
the street bums don't eat them.

Now now... you can't have unpasteurised milk - it won't go bad quickly
enough unless all the good bacteria and enzymes are killed off first.
Milk should also be denatured by way of pasteurisation and
homogenisation so as to create far more people with a 'dairy
intolerance'.

Besides, you need to support the multinational dairy corporations, not
farmers and smallholders. Have you no decency?!?

A small minority (about 5%) of people wait until marriage, but the vast
majority take it for a test drive first.

They're pretty big these days... something like 2 lbs each.

Didn't someone here buy into a cow so they didn't have to buy
the milk? Thereby avoiding the whole issue of legality.

Yum yum. I get most of my milk and cream from a friend's Dexter cow,
quite a different thing to store bought milk. Laws here are just as
bad, if not worse than where you are as far as sales of raw milk goes.

Arranged, or deranged?

Back in the day, when I was living in New Mexico, I had a heard of
dairy goats.ll, aregistered, and vet checked. I sold their milk to
the local health food store but they had to label it pet food in order
to sell it.

The first yoghurt I ever saw or tasted (back in the 1960's), was home
made in old clean jamjars, and sold unrefrigerated in the local
healthfood shop. It was so delicious.

When I had cats they left those parts on the door step.

While I disagree with the cigarette analogy, I do agree that they are
over-smoked and a little goes a LONG way (IMO). In fact, I avoid
anything on the menu that says chipotle. Heat, I can take. Smoke,
no. I've decided that I wasted my money on buying a dual fuel off-set
BBQ last year because I dislike using propane and can't use charcoal
unless done in the off set part.(which isn't very large).
