Thread: Anyone besides me find this disturbing?

I don't find it disturbing. Goats are often eaten. Goats are often leashed trained. Sometimes goats are even pets. Goat meat is good eating.

Animals are animals they are not fuzzy humans.

In other nations dogs are considered consumable meat. In fact I had an aunt that woke me up to that fact that dogs are consumed. So are horses, donkeys, rabbits, alligators, squirrels, opossums, snakes, .... if you look all over the world you will find people eating things that you might find disgusting.

Just like I imagine that some nations look at beef, chicken or pork as disgusting things to eat. We really don't have much room to criticize.

This is not entirely true. There is a lady one street over that feeds strays because she does have a big heart and doesn't want them to starve. She takes them in and gets them "fixed". BUT they are a nuisance to us because they come over here and decide to use the area around my house with decorative stone as a litter box. It smells horrible and its disgusting. They try getting into my garage, they get into anything I have sitting outside on our porch. They use my porch furniture as beds so I have cat hair dirt all over them. I have to constantly wash it all down and clean up our decorative stone so it doesn't smell like cat. This is a pain to me and my family. Just wanted to give my point of view on this part.

We had to put her to sleep."

I really had to clench my fists to not write her back and send her the poem someone posted on here about that very topic. How sad!
