I believe Anon is a she because of the daily emails I used to get before I blocked her... Some days there would be more than 20... All in a rant about every excuse to kill animals from the lame attempt at "necessity" to the "will of gOd". <br /><br />As for my guy Joe - He's still doing fine! When we spoke last month he's calling himself 90%"veg"... And so is his daughters, wife and sister. I think it's a great start on the right path! All it takes is the desire to question assumptions - To think outside the box - To use your own critical judgement... <br /><br />Anon if you're listening... Are you courageous enough to do so?Bea Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981537551810309024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804054451517691779.post-69731978874738644462010-05-25T15:58:20.709-04:002010-05-25T15:58:20.709-04:00Thanks, Bea!

So now, we have a shining example of what might be a pigs "choice" - And it suits you totally fine to consider it of value. <br /><br />YET - is it the "choice" of the pig to be fashioned into your little sausages? Why no of course. Pity that what the animal "wants" is only of importance to you according to your desires. How convenient- It appears you're always in the winners circle.<br /><br />As for me, I cheer for the underdog... No harm to respect others, who might be spared by mercy... no matter how tasty their flesh might be.Bea Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981537551810309024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804054451517691779.post-49937524173787294652009-04-20T11:48:00.000-04:002009-04-20T11:48:00.000-04:00I assume, from what you say, you are trying to con...I assume, from what you say, you are trying to convince me and yourself that you know something about pigs.<br /><br />However, in this particular instance, I happen to know that you are wrong.<br /><br />The pigs in the picture look quite content to me.<br /><br />The more I read your blog, and the comments you leave on other people's the more convinced I become that your knowledge of animals is very limited. This is unfortunate, since you say you have so many of them.<br /><br />Have you ever seen a pig being bred? By a boar I mean, not by AI (artificial insemination)you see, if you had, you would know that the boar tests her to see if she is on heat, if she is not, the boar knows better than to mess with her. Only when she is on heat is she a willing partner.<br /><br />Artificial insemination has nothing to do with rape. For your information, Bea, it [b]is[/b] the sow's choice. When sows are loose housed the ones that are on heat will actually come up to the stockman and nuzzle at him with their snouts, much like a dog seeking attention from her owner. <br /><br />Some are so persistent that they will try and get between the stockman's legs encouraging him to sit on their backs, and they won't stop until they are bred, some will even come back for more if they think they've been shortchanged and it was too quick.<br /><br />I'm sorry to burst your bubble Bea, but it is the sow's preference. It is her choice to be bred, not the stockman's.an animal lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532571212046660978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804054451517691779.post-61342801946726262632009-04-20T01:37:00.000-04:002009-04-20T01:37:00.000-04:00Hello...

And are you saying that a prison is any less so if it has pretty wallpaper?<br />And ah! The music they played at Auschwitz!<br /><br />Honestly, there's more straw in a wren's nest than in this whole facility... Don't you know that pigs are obsessed with straw? That they love to root and roam? Lay in the sun and mud bathe? I hardly think an entire life spent in a barren, steel box constitutes anything less than a death row. <br /><br />And the markings... actually, this is a method used to "cull". It's also quick and easy identification for lots of "events" during a farmed animals life. Markings could indicate anything from illness, the administering of drugs, a restricted diet and even a mark for a "happy" day going to "market".<br /><br />And goodness please - that you wish to call a grown man diddling a pigs privates as being "serviced" is vile. I assure you this was not the sows preference or choice... And that's rape, for any female in any species.Bea Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981537551810309024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804054451517691779.post-74797065913203834962009-04-19T20:59:00.000-04:002009-04-19T20:59:00.000-04:00Where do you get your information?

Don't you ever check your facts before publishing them?<br /><br />These are sows, the blue X most probably indicating that they have been bred - artificially of course - not raped, bred, or served as they would say in Britain. So it's not death row at all.

He's such a kind person, his loss and hurt is obvious... What the animal and meat industries take from all that is joyful and good... is unforgivable.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, that's just part of what the struggle is all about...
