I didn't read the bill, but reading the posts I get the jest of the Bill.

Honestly I do not want it to pass. There is nothing wrong with eating another animal. Humans eat meat, its natural, end of story. Those who choose differently, thats fine, but you have no right to take away our food, because you think something is cute or that its death is horrible, humans are monsters, blah blah blah...

I watched that video, & honestly didn't think it was that bad (I will explain why).
Once again I'll use a Zebra & a Lion.

Mr. Zebra & all his buddies live in fear on a regular bases, as there are always hungry Lions around wanting them as dinner... Mr. Zebra spots Mr. Lion & runs for his life. Mr. Lion gives chase & sinks his dagger like claws into Mr. Zebra's backend.

Mr. Zebra screams in pain & fear & fights for his life. Then Mr. Lion works his way to Mr. Zebra's head (or a buddy does this), clamps down om Mr. Zebra's mouth to drop & suffocate (sp) him. Its not a fast death, its a normal death by lion. Many times while Mr. Lion is suffocating Mr. Zebra, Mr. Lions buddies start to chow down on Mr. Zebra who is still alive & can feel everything.

So my question is. Should we start making Lions eat Tofu & take pills?
Hell no, Lions eat other animals as its natural to them & us.

The horse, cow, pig, ect. should NOT go though hell while living on the farm, or in transport to the slaughtor house, as its in human care.. the ONLY time the animal should be scared & feel any sort of pain is when at the slaughtor house being killed.

If there is any kind of bill that needs to be made, its the care prior to the slaughtor house. I have cut WAY back on meat ONLY because I'm against the way farmed animals are cared for. The meatrix pisses me off to no bloody end (no pun intended). I'm a ferm believer in grazing animals. Farm animals NEED fresh air, fresh foods, excercize, communication & what not with others of its own kind. Farmed animals should be raised almost like pets. Meaning showing them love, compation & care. I'm not saying to give them names & play with them, but love in as in respect.

As many of you know I breed feeder rats. I follow the above. I show the baby rats, love, compation & care. They have the best shavings, the best foods, & I'm up to 3 cages for better comfort. I had a nice female feeder rat several weeks ago. She started showing signs of being ill. I refused to just kill her because she was ill & was a feeder rat. I tried to help her & she was getting better. I kept her beside my computer, so I could keep an eye on her & made sure she ate her special food. She was looking better after a week & then hit rock bottom. She had an infection, & it was a really BAD one. I didn't notice it at first, but I should have. I felt sad for her & ended the suffering. But I tried to give her aid & releave her of her illness, as I have compation for everything, even my food & my pets food.

its 3:30am & I hope this makes sence. I hope there are not too many typos, spelling errors, or other horrid grammar mistakes... if you don't understand something I said, just ask... I hate being bashed because someone or many didn't understand what I was saying, as my english skills are not top notch.

I wont be able to reply for a while, so please give me plenty of time to reply. My life is horribly busy at the moment & PT is at the bottom of my to do list.. reason I'm not around.
