Do you think that I am a bad person....?!
I am taking a class at a farm, and I am 15 years old!. In that class we have a chance to raise, train, and ultimately sell an animal for slaughter!. I bought a lamb, and I train it in the morning and in the evening (I don't want to take him out when it's hot, just not comfortable for him) I am training him for slaughter tho, so do you think it makes me a bad animal lover!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
I did the same thing every summer for FFA, except with pigs!. I named them and cared for them, and every fall they went to slaughter!. I don't think that makes me a bad animal lover, actually I believe it helped me appreciate them even more!. I knew the reason I was raising the animal and the purpose it served!. It was a great experience!. Some people do have a difficult time as their animal is being led to the truck at the end of the year, but whether or not you do, it doesn't mean that you are a horrible person or that you are an animal hater!. Everyone views life differently, and you are receiving a great education that the majority of people can't even comprehend, so cherish your unique experience!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
If you eat meat, I don't think that raising it yourself makes you any worse of an animal lover than having someone else do it with less care and then chowing down!.
Give it a good life, it was destined for food anyway if it was already on the farm!. It'll probably be hard for you, though!. I have a friend who grew up on a farm and used to know the names of the lambs that ended up in her freezer, I think that would be tough!. Didn't seem to bother her much!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If your uncomfortable with the end result, the lamb being slaughtered, then don't do it!. Since you payed for him I'd think you can do what ever you want with him!. Maybe he could provide wool for making jackets instead of being killed!. I raised 4 hens for my 4H project and kept them for eggs!. One of them is still around, but is past her egg laying years now!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Please save the lamb from death!. Give it a chance to live<3 that is why god put it on earth!. Don't be responsible for a death
I found this quote:
"Biting heads off birds is vile machismo!.
Man has sunk lower
than the beast he kills and eats!.
The beast is innocent - but man is not!
If you murder a beast,
you are less divine than that beast!.
If you eat bird brains,
you must have less than a bird brain!."
Another one:
--This tradition never has elevating man to greater levels of divinity, love or charity!
Which God is appeased by slitting the throat of the innocent sinless lamb!?
"I never asked for sacrifice, I asked only for a broken heart and contrite spirit!." - Bible
"Millions of lambs between the ages of one week and six months are killed in the U!.S!. Many are slaughtered for ethnic and religious holidays!. The number of lambs killed in the Spring is especially high!."--vivausa!.orgWww@FoodAQ@Com

I am all for eating meat, don't get me wrong, nor do I consider myself judge mental!. But, I just feel bad for the poor little guy, and you might get attached!. Great luck to you, I hope it all works out for the best!!:)Www@FoodAQ@Com
as an animal lover myself, I couldn't picture training an animal for slaughter, especially if I cared for the animal!. and it seems that you care for this lamb!. leave the dirty work to the people who aren't animal lovers!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
How do you train animals to be slaughtered!? That's very odd!. You don't want to take him outside in the sun because it's uncomfortable but you will slaughter him!?
I don't think your a bad person!.!.!.besides "bad" is relative!. I certainly wouldn't do it though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Erm, kind of!.
Well, I don't think you're a horrible person or anything!. But, as a vegetarian, I find the whole thing awful!.
I also think its not fair on you as you will get attached to the lamb and then it will be killed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

well kind of!. if your an animal lover then you shouldn't train that lamb for slaughter!.if you new from the start that you would have to train them for slaughter maybe you shouldn't of accepted the job!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
i dont think ur a bad person!.!.!.but it does make you a bad animal lover!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yeah I think thats awfulWww@FoodAQ@Com
Your not a bad person I am!. I feel guily and don't know if I should!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
so you are in 4H!.!.!.that's what it all about!. I have some great lamb repices if you need them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
i did that while i was in school!. i think its stupid though cuz u train it so good and then they just kill them!. that suks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
God put the animals on the earth for humans to eatWww@FoodAQ@Com
sell it to the vegetarians or vegans here!.!. let's see them put their money where their mouths areWww@FoodAQ@Com
Bad person!? Nah!. I couldn't imagine doing that though!. It'd break my heart!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I am a vegan and also in the FFA program at my school in southern California!. We too had a chance to raise animals for slaughter, but we also had the option of growing a garden!. I chose to grow a garden because I felt better about it!. I don't think you are a bad person for raising the animal, because those animals were going to slaughter anyways!. The animals we get are going to go to slaughter even if we don't raise them ourselves!.!.!.someone else will raise them and then send them away!. So you have the oppurtunity to give your lamb a happy life before he is slaughtered!. You love him and care for him, and he wouldn't have had that if it weren't for you!. He would have just been sent to slaughter right away, but you gave him a happy life for awhile!. You are certainly not a bad animal lover for doing this!. But if it made you feel uncomfortable, just don't do it next year!. Ask your teacher if you can grow a garden instead, or perhaps write a report!. Good luck and hope I helped ;)Www@FoodAQ@Com
well, yeah!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
