Thanks for the comments of support x<br /><br />@Mo&Steve - Thanks for your comment. You are right, this part to any animal lover is truly awful but you are right when you speak of respect, the way they live when they are with us is as it should be and that is worth it in itself. Free Range Pigs are the only pigs that produce Happy Pork!!<br /><br />@dcg - Hello! Yes, I do eat my animals, especially pigs ... Gosh that sounds awful (but I never know which animal I am eating, I kill at least 2 at a time, some gets sold, some goes in the freezer, so its not like eating an animal you treat like a pet, even though I do grow to love them) - I found that I couldn't take farming cruelty any longer (pigs are treated so bad) and needed to rear my own food so that I knew exactly what went into it and that it was loved. I still find it hard if I think about it too much but by selling to local people and restaurants I hope they taste the difference and never go back to supermarket cruel pork.NunneryFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12038381063761755953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392472088098166298.post-31783044603852802022011-08-11T13:22:00.039-07:002011-08-11T13:22:00.039-07:00Personally I rarely eat red meat, and even then on...Personally I rarely eat red meat, and even then only lamb and although I've never been vegetarian I do cook a lot of veggie meals. Nothing to do with principals, just taste.<br />But I do buy free range animal products.<br />Utmost respect for what you do Lee but I'm curious as to whether you eat meat from your own animals ?<br />A friend once made me goat curry - I thought it was mutton, half way through the mean she informed me that I was eating the goat I'd been petting in her garden for weeks.<br />I was sick.dirtycowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193492692357362402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392472088098166298.post-12224041859964672522011-08-11T06:47:27.116-07:002011-08-11T06:47:27.116-07:00It is the saddest part isn't it?

As someone said to me "now is the time to show your respect for them".<br />Hope all goes well.

I wanted to make sure that the chicken I eat had the same fabulous free range life as my spoilt garden girls, and I realised the only way to do this was to raise them ourselves. That's what we now do. I still find it very hard when it comes to it, and sometimes I do think about just not eating chicken at all... but then it would be sad that our lovely little birds would never have a chance of life and we'd never meet them. So, we continue. <br />Chicken has become something of a special meal now, and out of respect for them, we also make sure we don't waste anything.<br />I really admire you for doing pigs, as I think they must be even easier to get attached to than the chooks.Witch Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606199417540707334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392472088098166298.post-32160890842483609412011-08-11T04:08:13.332-07:002011-08-11T04:08:13.332-07:00I Know exactly what you mean ..
