Two aspects of human life puzzle me: Killing purely for sport and eating any type of meat a person can get their hands on. Â …
Chickening Out
Why is it important that the chicken I’m about to eat was allowed to roam freely, attend the school of its choosing and dream of a better life before it was slaughtered, cut up and packaged? …
