The vast majority of forum members probably eat meat.

Could you slaughter the animal that produces the meat you eat?

[mickcant]

No,
My late father used to kill and dress lots of chickens in the 1950-60s
I used to do "stubbing"
(removing the small feathers left after plucking)
I watched how they wrung the chickens necks, and had a go, it was horrible
the poor thing was dancing around and really suffered until Dad took over.

If I had to kill to eat, I would be a vegetarian!

simple for me, I've been a vegetarian for 30yrs+, and I'm still alive, so no need to kill to eat

[stevewool]

if i had to, then yes,

In the plans for retiring to the Phils i hope to have some chickens to supply us with food, so yes i shall kill them

​Like I said in the other thread, my aunts and uncles let me kill some of my grandparents' chickens whenever it is fiesta in Laguna. I was in gradeschool that time. They taught me how to slit its throat and pluck the feathers out of it. My grandad & uncles used to be fishermen too so catching fish was taught or showed to us at some point when we were kids.

I only eat meat from shops, and it's all made in a factory, so no killing involved.

No, but I would get the wife to do it.

Our kids here were taught how to slaughter and clean a chicken in school..Practical..Not theory..

I once killed a rabbit with a piece of 2x2 when we went ferreting once.. Yes we cooked and ate it.

When I was a kid living in Malaya it was an every day thing to see chickens being chased about and having their heads lopped off before being eaten for lunch. A quick and humane end...certainly preferable to having to live a short horrible life being cooped up on a battery farm.

Plucking is a bit of an art and i was never very good at it. Plenty of experience though when it comes to choking the chicken!

Nothing wrong with being a vegetarian.
I used to share a house with a guy in the 80's who was a vegetarian. He lived on veggie hamburgers, cheese and white bread. Needless to say he was always unwell.

What type of vegetarian are you?

I am with Graham on this one.

If I thought too much about meat coming from animals I would be vegetarian.
