My husband is -- at his core -- a carnivore. And, he hunts and kills his food. (Well, I eat it too, I have to admit.) And when you live "close" to your food, this lack of attachment makes sense. But raising your food rather than hunting it, that just seems to me to present different problems. I never see the cute baby fawns, just the grown dead carcasses.Mayberry Magpiehttp://www.mayberrymagpie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-50637851534348089092009-04-02T17:20:00.000-06:002009-04-02T17:20:00.000-06:00I just can't believe how fast those puppies are gr...I just can't believe how fast those puppies are growing!

I'd be glad to have a discussion about my beliefs and your beliefs, but my choices are mine; do what you want. Those puppies are cute, though! Are you keeping all of them?

When we had them in the house when they were very young to keep them warm and safe we kept them in a corner and used two boards nailed together to make a box out of it and that was called the 'puppy corral'....so 'puppy penitentary ' was a good laugh for me.<BR/>We also 'work up' our own deer harvest and it is survival. Sure helps with the grocery bills.<BR/>And I have vegetarian friends and we don't preach to each other. They are lovely folks. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-32810210082387003062009-04-02T07:59:00.000-06:002009-04-02T07:59:00.000-06:00Thanks Kristin!Thanks Kristin!CountryMidwifenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-71916753595310310832009-04-02T07:35:00.000-06:002009-04-02T07:35:00.000-06:00Great post, I think slaughter of animals probably ...Great post, I think slaughter of animals probably bothers a lot of people. We're so detached from our food now. It doesn't bother us to buy meat in the grocery store where it no longer looks like the animal from which it came (as if it makes it better to buy it and not do it yourself). Coming from a hunting family we were regularly exposed to "fuzzy wuzzies" being slaughtered. As kids we loved to watch my dad skin rabbits & squirrels. I guess part if it is in how you grow up. <BR/><BR/>The slaughter of innocent children worldwide in ethnic violence and war and their deaths because of poverty and hunger are far more of a concern for me.Chiot's Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05086153621579437021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-20480116211173282202009-04-02T07:19:00.000-06:002009-04-02T07:19:00.000-06:00It's open season on the puppies--bring him on over...It's open season on the puppies--bring him on over.
