I was seven years old and the information made me sick to my stomach. I guess life is full of ugly truths, and the best we can do is be kind to as many animals as we can--including mice and snakes and barn cats!Ms Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417670251423549014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037665037475387929.post-84907358105712974072009-10-20T05:59:06.477-05:002009-10-20T05:59:06.477-05:00Ms Sparrow
Poor Bitsy It would have stayed with me...Ms Sparrow<br />Poor Bitsy It would have stayed with me too <br /> We've been following a story in the press about a sheep that was kept at a school as part of a project to teach the children about the food chain When it came time for slaughter there was a big discussion as the children had help to rear it , got fond of it and treated it as a pet . <br /> I think it should have had a reprieve but sadly it was decided to sent it to the butchers to show the reality of life. A lot of the children were heart broken. Some said that they would never eat meat againBarbara Blundellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10737381770907901607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037665037475387929.post-60847591236584052822009-10-19T13:20:15.633-05:002009-10-19T13:20:15.633-05:00I was raised in the country with strays all around...I was raised in the country with strays all around. I did not develop the fondness for them as did my Mom and sisters. I did take care of my son's cat one time, but ended up giving it away as my allergies were so severe.<br />I do love all pictures of kitties though! ;DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037665037475387929.post-1891150027509853482009-10-19T12:18:19.492-05:002009-10-19T12:18:19.492-05:00Ms. Sparrow, I have noticed that those I've me...Ms. Sparrow, I have noticed that those I've met from farming and ranching don't have the tender hearts of those not involved in animal husbandry -- I think it's a protective thing, because to get attached would be to suffer...I feel kind of sad for them, too...they are missing the joy of animal companions.<br /><br />Even now at haying, there is so much death! All the little mice and the snakes and who-knows-what!<br /><br />Aren't we cheerful today? lol!!!Olde Dame Penniwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11871888334179316997noreply@blogger.com
