I'd imagine somebody whos had cows as pets would feel the same way when it comes to somebody saying they raised then purposly killed a cow.

I'll leave it up to a professional butcher whos business is to raise cowS(plural), not just ONE which could easily bond with you even if you don't with it which is how it sounds to me from reading everyones posts.
but thats my 2 cents.
thank you!! that was basically what I was trying to say, I don't know about some people, but I personally would get attached and cry my eyes out when we would butcher them. ok let's pretend I wasn't a vegetarion shall we. I am just saying no matter what I would get attached. I mean I thought you guys would kind of understand. but i guess not
