Your comprehension is exactly what I am seeking, Nikki.
I don't gloat about my actions, but at the same time I find my actions rational and prudent.
I am interested in people's definitions of cruel and suffering when discussing this topic.
I wonder if people attach the social norm of "soul" to an animal and think of me as a murderer.
I wonder if, by my having actually participated in butchering a chicken, I am more aware of what constitutes cruelty while others worry about PETA and the message they send.
I wonder if the act of butchering one's own meat products somehow gives a better perspective on the definition of animal rights and our place in nature.
I seek your input, Nikki. On these questions, and others.
