I think that's one way to help people identify these beings as living creatures rather than as food products.<br /><br />I agree with you that the human capacity for caring is potentially as great as the tendency to harm, and also with Bea that cowardice and ignorance play a great part Have Gone Veganhttp://www.havegonevegan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-13397029059148809372012-03-25T10:00:32.200-05:002012-03-25T10:00:32.200-05:00Thank you for commenting Annie.

Hildy's mutilated feet, her mutilated beak are eloquent testimony toward our abysmal failings. Hildy was an innocent...but we humans aren't.veganelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188156008589356984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-56151711032172355422012-03-25T09:30:39.376-05:002012-03-25T09:30:39.376-05:00Thank you for sharing this.

And yet each time I see one here (safe) - I know that it's very likely that beautiful bird will be killed and (maybe) eaten. I wish I could tell them all to just stay here, safe on our land.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06984355159069741863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-90135039428629346342012-03-25T07:44:31.567-05:002012-03-25T07:44:31.567-05:00Farm Sanctuary is a wonderful place and Susie is a...Farm Sanctuary is a wonderful place and Susie is an amazing woman. We've had adopted cows there for many years.

Anyone with a shred of decency would react the same. We know as a species what is unthinkable and unacceptable...
