Parr8hed Posted January 4, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 4, 2015 I took a pork butt out of the smoker at 8 this morning. I then rubbed two chickens and put them in. After I put two chickens IN the smoker I went out back and fed 5 chickens. Just strange that in my front yard I have two chickens in the smoker for lunch and 5 chickens out back making eggs for breakfast. If only the ones out back could see what I was doing out front.

Ralphie ★ Posted January 4, 2015 Share #5 Posted January 4, 2015 I wouldn't eat meat if it wasn't so tasty. It is a quandary - tasty, and so hard to avoid on one hand, yet so barbaric on the other hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parr8hed Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted January 4, 2015 Don't get me wrong, I feel a little bit doing this. But not so much that I won't eat smoked meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted January 4, 2015 Share #12 Posted January 4, 2015 If we didn't eat them, chickens and cows would hardly exist. Their very lives and well-being are a direct result of their importance to our diet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted January 5, 2015 Share #22 Posted January 5, 2015 Let me just remind the vegetarians among us that vast animal and insect ecosystems are completely destroyed to plant vegetables, causing massive damage that takes years to repair, if at all. Bunny and chipmunk families are torn up, as are ladybug families and kindly singing grasshoppers, just so vegetarians can have brussel sprouts and tofu grown on a previous grazing paradise for tasty beef and pork and sometimes goats and lamb. This makes me sad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuzieQ Posted January 5, 2015 Share #24 Posted January 5, 2015 You flesh eaters have to come up with the most ridiculous arguments to make your case. There is no way around it, the way we treat animals is appalling, and every time you consume meat you are contributing to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted January 5, 2015 Share #29 Posted January 5, 2015 So as a cow, I have the option of being born and raised to eventually become part of the food chain or I can never be born at all. I think I would prefer the former to the latter. No one is going to raise a cow as a pet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would prefer the former to the latter. I don't know, a life of misery doesn't seem to be one well-spent, although you could make a case that most being's lives are comprised of 90% misery. Personally, I would rather not go through all the growing and maturing and whatnot if I knew it was gonna be misery. Won't stop me from eating animals, though. Some idiot has a cow for a pet, I am sure of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With great respect, it is possible to purchase meat products that involve humanely raised animals. I do agree there are situations where that cannot happen --that is why I don't eat veal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously cannot understand how anyone can make the choice to eat veal! Thank you for caring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petitepedal ★ Posted January 9, 2015 Share #35 Posted January 9, 2015 The last eggs I got were organic and free range I do eat meat, chicken and fish...but not as much as I use to. I understand where you are coming from...I am not there...but that is okay too. And for what it is worth...If I had to kill the meat to eat it...I would probably be a vegetarian...or at least I would only eat the occasional poorly cleaned and fileted fish...
