Don't you eat meat Bobby?

I found an injured Magpie once and reared it for awhile. I was hoping to teach it to talk. I fed it very carefully with a paddle pop stick and had to put it in a cage one night when we had a friend and his lady over for dinner. I told his lady friend NOT to try to feed it as she was fascinated and kept disappearing to the laundry where it was.

Did she listen? NO!! Against my instructions she tried to feed it and it swallowed the paddle pop stick which was poking out of its chest. I tried to gently massage it out and it did spit it out but a couple of hours later it was dead. I was so freaking angry with the stupid cow :mad

Its only murder if another cow kills it lol,,

It was a lovely cow , very friendly, but it was purchased and raised for this purpose, it was 300kgs dressed, I am starting to salivate at the thought of the sausages , mince and steak YUM!

Yesterday was good.

Had some Skintime and 2 bottles of home brew. One was excellent, the other quite passable

I don't mind a piece of steak when it's in
a plastic packet in the supermarket but
I could never kill an animal that I know or have fed.

I had a pet goat when I was a kid as we had enough land to use a goat as a lawn mower.
Animals are more intelligent than we give them credit for.

I'd have to be very hungry to kill say a sheep & cut it up.
Mind you I have butchered half a sheep many times as we used to buy
half a sheep from a wholesale butcher
& I'd cut it up into the various "cuts" of meat & put it into the freezer.
I used a hacksaw to get through the bones & a meat axe - and a knife.
We couldn't afford to buy meat in little plastic packets from the supermarket
for a large family.

People don't do that anymore nowadays.

I would imagine cutting up a 1/2 a sheep would be a big job

It is - especially when you have to use a hacksaw instead of an electric band saw.
