LOL! Although funny sadly so many people are disconnected from where their food comes from. That is why the feedlots & confinement operations do so well. If they actually visited some of the feedlots it would put them off from eating meat from there.

I called the manager yesterday, he and I have known each other for about 10 years now. He's raised pigs since the stone age and we had a nice and reasonable conversation about it. He even gave me a couple of pointers on castrating my own piglets for this go 'round. He was pretty upset that they would even be saying stuff like that and said he'd talk tot hem about the differences between food and pets.
He and I have decided that his City Slicker employees need to be educated on the differences between what he calls "Commercial Animals" and "Pets". He and I have arranged a short informational lecture for them. A 15-20 minute presentation on how local farmers raise their animals, including how we castrate piglets and other animals and a very informative section on why we raise them, FOR MEAT!
Guess who we decided should teach this presentation......
Yours Truly, Me! TheSheepGirl!
In your faces City Yuppies!! The best part about it is that they have to keep their opinions to themselves from now on, as well!
"I'll be sure to special order you some more scalpels, too." concluded the manager.

On a separate note, You guys made me LOL! Both of these clerks do eat meat and one raises goats, but takes them to vet for castration!
Found this on Youtube and it totally fits!!
Why California Needs a State Fair!
Oh, and we're castrating piglets today, with an Exacto Knife, cause no place sells scalpels, but the feedstore!

LOL about the presentation. While you're at it tell them to watch Food Inc. & then ask them if they'll still eat meat.

Oh, I intend to! Originally we were going to save out a piglet to castrate for them at the presentation. We then decided that this might cause a stir.terrilhb said:You go girl. Do a fantastic presentation.
They may faint at the sight of blood!
