My relatives thought I was crazy. I'm sorry, but I just saw homeslice clucking away with his friends the day before. I will spare you the story about the huge pig they killed later on. these photos make me homesick. they remind of where my parents live.

Not that I don't eat meat all the time, but I can't see a living animal and not give it a name and have conversations with it about its day, neither of which is conducive to later heating it up and pouring gravy over it. I have to go with the, "chicken comes from the supermarket" school of thought, or I'd starve to death. I'm wimpy like that. See, this is why I could never be a farmer; I’d cry at every single meal.

I feel the same as you do--if I had to kill, I'd be a vegetarian.<br /><br />Gil, I was also impressed with P's hidden talent; I'm going to be sending him on more assignments soon ;) And yes, the chickens are definitely well cared for--I suppose if you're going to end up eating them yourself, you really don't want some sickly birds. <br /><br />Judith, what a wonderful comment. Seems like you've done and are doing just fine for yourself though :) Christina, P’s mom does all the cleaning, thank goodness. I feel the same as you do–if I had to kill, I’d be a vegetarian.

I don't have any now because of the "strage a Barzotti" of 2 years ago, but I go visit my neighbors' fowls and they are kind enough to do the killing on days when I am away!

The chickens look well taken care of compared to the ones I remember the egg farmers keeping. This reminds me of the chickens that my Mom's Aunt kept in upstate NY.

I don't blame you at all for not having anything to do with the killing or cleaning! I think that would be all it would take to turn me vegetarian in a matter of seconds! ;-) I remember my Italian grandmother insisting we children watch her pluck and clean the pheasants my dad and grandfather would shoot during hunting season. Um, right. To this day I've never even tasted pheasant, nor do I ever intend to. Blech!!! <br /><br />Christina <br />(www.singlecitychick.blogspot.com) LOL!
