Raising livestock and treating them decently is an entirely different
thing than making _pets_ of them. I know the difference and these kids
were way over the other side of it. Some of them ended up hating what
they had done and determined not to be farmers after all.

I have always apologized to and thanked every deer and quail I have
sent to the other side. The last animal I had to kill was a road-
struck doe. Since I was putting her out of her misery, not killing her
for food, I left off the apology and thanks but I did wish her well on
her journey.

while we differ somewhat in actual practice, i can see we agree on
respecting the animal, thank you for giving thanks and wishing them well,
your nourishment is increased from bodily sustanance to an inriched soul,
