Amish I know these people...they think very different about animals. All animlas are considered livestock and treated as such. I spent so much time with the Humane Society trying to educate the ways of humane treatment..only to be laughed at for considering a dog any different then a chicken...and laughed at even worse for caring about a legless chicken left to die slowly...
OF course, not all Amish are millers...but 100's are and religion has nothing to do with it or they would abide by the scripture and treat animals as God purposed...I have heard so many people say..."Because the Amish are such a religious, peacful sect they could not possibly abuse animals" ...I have seen long coated dogs who have NEVER had a bath or groomed...they were one solid mat, unrecognizable....eyes matted shut and blind..I cut these people no slack!..and believe me they hate animal lovers with a passion...I have been on the end of their hate. |
