you are right, Rook, not all farmers do this...but THESE farmers did and I hope to god they get whats coming to them...

my daddy use to name his steers. And he would brush them, and pet them, and even have them chase him around in a game of tag...lol. I could not understand how he could take them to slaughter after making them into "pets" until one day, I caught him scratching the forehead of one of the steers while it was loaded in his truck to go. He was taking the time to soothe it and I heard him thank the steer for feeding his family.

We are meat eaters as a species. But we have lost our connection to the animal world and place ourselves above it. In doing so, we have individuals who are spiritually depleted and take no remorse for abusing animals, humans and others. This farm and these farmers are symptoms of this alienation and the consequences that are paid, sadly, to the very animals we domesticated to serve us. Instead of honoring that animal like my father did, they tortured them.

I will get past my anger...but it will take some doing. i will get to compassion...and then I will take action. I will be going to this trial...
