I know that everyone here is very clearly deeply passionate about animals and their welfare and you are a dear soul to seek an end to the suffering and foul conditions that many animals- especially those used for 'production' purposes are all to often subject to.  |
I've just read so many posts and I believe that we are all so close to how we would like to see animals treated. I do think that people who lived closer to the earth, farmers, Indians, hunters, etc. had more of a respect for animals than some do today. I've talked to hunters and they have certain standards on how to kill an animal in a humane way so that it doesn't suffer and it sounds like you do too; it's all this industrial farming that has changed things. I think there is a way that we can use animals and also be humane to them, and that's all I'm asking. But as you say, when we are more comfortable seeing only black and white on the subject, progress will be slow. So, if nothing else, I hope this thread allows some to see the "shades of grey." By the way, YOU are a sweetheart!
