@ Sarah– I respect your right to be vegetarian or even a vegan if you wish. What I do not understand is why you would not respect others right to eat meat. I suspect you kill dozens of animals per day. If you don’t believe me, check the front of your car/windshield or the soles of your shoes. What seperates you and I is that you kill for your convience and do not use what you kill. I feel I am more respectful to the animal, as I would not kill it unless I was to consume it. Just a thought, as life is a matter of perspective.

Jane,

The NAIS is for livestock animails only not pets, it is Know a your premises ID, this is to insure that all animals, used in any production (i.e dairy, eggs, meat) are able to be tracked just for the purpose of disease, NOT Pets, the animals are not tagged or anything, you are giving an ID number that pratically anyone can look up, each location you have livestock you must have your premises registered, they do not care when they are born or they die, just want to keep an eye on if a outbreak would occuor nothing to deal with pets

1st let me start by saying…. Sarah… Shut the hell up. 2nd. About the blood. I have used it many time as chum to bait out a fishing spot. It works good. But seems to draw the snakes in more then cow blood. It’s worth it for the fish. Thats right Sarah. I eat fish also. The same with beef and chicken. Oh boy I will jack a chicken leg up in a heart beat.

wow…i always knew how this worked and yes im a vegetarian. I’d rather die than be part of killing a poor innocent animal that never did any harm. I don’t have a problem if someone raised the pigs on their own, but to kill SO many just to make SO much that people become obese is…SICK. I find it disgusting to EAT another being, i mean your all like “oh no big deal” but just for a moment.. just one moment imagine if that was happening to you? You would be so terrified that you couldn’t even imagine. Don’t start saying “pigs dont know whats going on” because you know what. Maybe they do, maybe they just want to live. They weren’t put on this earth so we could get fat off them, be vegetarian it may not make that big of a difference in the world, but you’ll save at least one life. And if saving one life isn’t worth to stop eating something, well then, then i don’t want to be human. A life is a life, doesn’t matter what shape, form, or size it comes in. A life, is a life.

This summer i will be rasing a pig of my own for FFA then selling it to a farm, i’m pretty nervous for it but its the circle of life, Raise this animal and knowing his or her boding will be feed an human body is enough to know i am doing at least some good. For those few vegans out there…. we get it im all about animal rights too but i know when my opinon is unwanted i feel like you should learn how to fell the same way.

If all the animal “rights” people had their way, I wouldn’t be breeding, housing, feeding. and protecting the animals I raise for food. They would never be born. And the ones that live in the wild? They would be eaten by other animals. Ever stop to ponder that you have no problem with animals eating animals, but you cry foul when people eat them.

Harvesting these hogs is no different than picking an apple from the tree. It is what these animals are intended for. I have lived on a farm all my life, we butcher our own beef,swine and poultry. We gather our own eggs and drink milk that comes straight from the cow, non-pasteurized I might add. And nobody has ever gotten sick from any food born contamination. But look at all the people who have gotten sick and died from these big mega-farms that the government is watching over. Makes a person wonder why they think they can run everything.

If you don’t like it…don’t look! It’s the food chain people. It’s what they are for! Deal with it!

i think its funny how these people on here is so upset with the rights of the animals, and the process to keep them alive, but what for, its just another reason to give our rights too to animal, and yet to take our rights away from, as though there right to not eat the meat but yet wants everybody else to do as they do
