Last Posting...

[Guest guest]

Hi. I only began posting on Monday, and this is my last posting. I

am a vegan and love animals. My childhood was spent on a farm where

I had many wonderful experiences. Recently I decided I wanted to

raise a couple of chickens after hatching them in an incubator, like

I did as a child. This experience taught me so much about life and

the preciousness of it. I got to see an animal come into this world

from something we take for granted and scramble everyday. After my

posting, the few responses to this posting were sad. I know there

are chickens out there who need to be rescued. And I never said I

would not rescue any chickens...I will however raise a couple from

eggs. In my view, I am saving a couple of eggs from the mouths of

meat-eaters. I cannot believe how fanatical some of the people in

this group are. I will continue to be vegan, but it won't be a

social thing for me anymore. By that, I mean I will be vegan and not

associate with vegan groups such as this. It is this fanatacism that

keeps a lot of vegans away from vegan groups. I think it is a major

step forward when people decide to no longer eat meat or animals

products. You have to understand that all people are not

extremists. And if they are no longer eating meat or animal

products, don't attack other things they may do that may seem to you

to further the plight of animals. But, you always have many who step

up and tell you you are not doing enough...you should do more....or

that what you are doing is still hurting animals. I think that is

sad and it truly pushes people back to meat-eater status. So what if

I want to bring a couple of chickens in the world and give them a

good home. And who's to say I won't adopt others to give them a good

home. Relax people...you just lost a member because people thought

I, who just turned vegan a few months ago, wasn't doing " enough " for

the animals by raising chickens from eggs....this is the fanatacism I

was talking about. I dare to say to any of you who had children of

your own that you were not doing enough for the children of this

world...you should have adopted and saved a few of those millions of

children who have no home and no family.

 

Thank you for your time.
