First, we of all people should know just how long a sweet, small, soft animal without the ability to turn into a vicious beastie on occasion would last in this world don't we? (grin)
In the words of piglet "the world can be a scary place if you are one of the smaller animals"I'm a vegetarian, not because I think its wrong to eat meat. It's the way that they are raised in factory conditions for our gluttony that sickens me. But if you want to go out and shoot something and eat it, I couldn't do it, but I respect it.
I've met some free range chickens, and I swear much like children if they have a healthy environment they can actually be really sweet, and form attachments to people. Not that I think thats the basis for eating or not eating something.
And for the lambs. Well actually I saw an Ewe once at a farm, and what Tabitha said is sooo true and funny, they don't bahhh they give you this dead-eyed look, completely vaccuous stare and then kind of go bleahhhp like a prolonged belch. I had to keep going back to watch her do it again, I was having a 7yr old boy type laughing fit.
"dreamer" how do you do that with your drawings, I look at my keyboard and see a keyboard, I won't ever forget that about you.
