To be near Grands & as we age with more health problems, don’t want kids to have to drive 5 hours to help. My folks moved 8 hours away when healthy & then as health problems came, I was driving 8 hours one way to help. Then the guilt, when u are helping folks, things aren’t getting done at...
@digitS' I’m going farther south to Warrick county. Any farther south I’d be in river or Kentucky. Been fighting pneumonia for about 8 weeks so I’m way behind on every. So much for the pneumonia shot.
I never understood why it’s OK to eat beef, pork, etc but horse meat is a huge NO NO. I would have slaughter houses as near the supply as possible.
Fish are treated 100X worse to process than any commercial raised animal for meat. But they aren’t cute and cuddly. Most states are loaded...
Never ending supply? Tell your neighbor to build more pens, capture more hogs and utilize them. I don’t want to hear he’s only got so much time/energy. Tell him to work 24/7/365, sleep is over rated. :)
please explain how shipping that industry to other countries stops the abuse? Wouldn’t it have been better to mandate ethical treatment of animals in this country & penalize foreign import?
I have NO problem that what you described is horrible. Similar reason I will never buy or eat veal...
current PMU production has moved overseas
How does that stop the abuse? Just we don’t see it? That is the American way, don’t see it, it doesn’t exist so I can continue to buy/use. That is What happened to our vegetable farms-shipped to other countries where slave labor and banned in USA...
We have a huge disconnect about what people think they know about the food chain and what is real. I blame that on AG failing to educate and educators to teach it.
Let me address just one misunderstanding. Hogs on pasture are better off. Late spring, early summer, late summer through fall...
If people want to make a difference, go after the dog/cat abusers. They are everywhere & easy to find. But that would mean stepping up & being identified.
Animals being treated with cruelty will not flourish. Farm goes broke.
I won’t lecture why AG has went the route it has or what is wrong with “alternative “ ways to raise livestock. Or debate meat vs no meat. (Trust that I’d love to but nobody would change their opinion & usually insults...
Interesting view of farming. Pro-cruelty of animals? Haven’t ever seen one of those after 50+ years in AG. Have witnessed cruelty to pets from “decent” people.
94% choose to eat meat? Tells me their belief. I’m ok with that. Just don’t try to make me live by their standards.
