Where did it come from?
22 Oct
I certainly don’t want to offend anyone, so please keep in mind that I speak with the best of intentions. When I saw the below videos, I couldn’t help but speak out.
*Warning* – Most of this video is very hard to watch. But keep in mind, it has a VERY good message.
I know it’s easier to turn away right away – because this might come across to you as ‘just another upset peta protest’ blah blah blah. But consider the message in the video, the next time you purchase wool to wear or lamb to eat. Where does it come from, how were the animals treated? It’s very pretty wool at the store – no doubt. But where did it come from, did the farmer raise the lamb who wore the wool – with love, or mutilate it so you could buy the wool cheap? Or buy the lamb meat cheap? Because it was faster. Because it was more convenient.
Then take into consideration the other friendly animals who give up their lives to make ours a little easier. Take in to consideration – how were they treated? The more you buy without thought – the more money in the pockets of the cruel farmers.
It’s not BAD to eat meat or wear clothes made from animal products. What is BAD is those cruel cruel farmers.
Isn’t it worth the time to give thanks to the animals – by supporting the farmers who do make their life – a good life?
Stepping on my soap box a little higher…
Before Clark and I were married, we both respected animals. I have always been “over sensitive” about how animals are treated. Some things that others would find amusing where an animal was humiliated or mocked in videos or pictures – I would just cry at the drop of a hat. I’ve been this 
way my whole life. I HATE the common phrase “there’s more than 1 way to skin a cat” – it makes my skin crawl, what a sick way of expressing yourself!
It wasn’t until Clark and I adopted both Hero & Tiny that our hearts changed. Never would we have thought that we could love an animal SO much. It makes watching videos like the above – that much harder to take in, because we know what it’s like to REALLY love an animal. Hero and Tiny aren’t just ‘a Cat.’ or ‘a Pet.’. They are like … a member of our family. We are SO sad when they are sad, we are SO aware of their feelings.
So to see a human being, so carelessly throw an animal aside, not even taking into consideration that they are IN PAIN, makes my heart ache so deeply. It’s one thing to be naive/ignorant about it all – that’s forgiveable… but when there is blood on your hands… COME ON!
I’m vegetarian for medical reasons, but stuff like this makes me feel a whole lot better that I have to not eat meat. At least there is that much less money in those heartless pockets.
… Watch this video to learn where the source of your eggs from the Grocery store come from. This is why I feel the Organic Brand of eggs is worth the extra $1 . ‘Cage Free’ eggs, HAPPIER eggs 
Ok. I’m done. 
To make a difference: Start being aware. Do your best to find out where the meat or animal products come from. Organic brands are friendly brands so you can feel safe choosing those. Just trying your best makes a BIG difference.
