Reading your post, - "Assassin with a heart" came to mind. 😂
I can understand your dilemma. But you did the right thing, made the right decision. All things die. Some things have to die, so that other things can survive. That's life. But it is important that death be as painless as possible.
It's interesting the comments I've gotten on this post. I've had people in the real world call me cruel for hunting and culling, sometimes whilst they tuck into a breakfast of bacon and eggs mind you. It's good to see there's some more balanced people around hive.
Most people do not understand how things work, or how life works. They don't realize how hypocritical they are. Just tell them that if not for you, the farmer would have nothing to sell to them. 😊
This is a good point but you're right, people don't understand.
I recall a few years back meeting a friend (argumentative one) who, whilst eating bacon and eggs at a café for breakfast with me, was calling me cruel for hunting and culling. Yeah, I know.
I told her I wanted to show her something on YouTube and brought up a video, that is still there I think, of a pig being slaughtered for the market. They use a long bayonet type implement, only the animal doesn't die. It just squeals which, remarkably, sounds human. So the guy calls for the sledge hammer. You get the point I think.
Anyway, the woman refused to watch it and we changed the subject. Point made. She went on eating her bacon and eggs though.
I think that says it all.
Meat comes from little white plastic trays in the supermarket and no animal was harmed in the production of this meat.
[Sarcasm of course.]
