What do you think about selling hay to outside farmers? Currently Gita

Nagari has a contract with a local farmer who cuts hay for his animals

and for sale. Presumably the animals who eat the hay eventually get

slaughtered, and it's doubtful that they get very good treatment in

general (though I don't personally know the animals in question). Those

in favor said that sale of the hay generates needed revenue; and that we

are not cut off from the world with other things, and this is no

different. The subject generated a heated debate over several issues

that the situation touches.
