OT: Re: Interesting Article on Civet Farms in Thailand

[Guest guest]

Thank you for reassuring me, straight from the mouth of a farm girl, that

farmers can raise animals ethically.

My own experiences have been limited mainly to visits of commercial production

facilities. High-volume producers probably incorporate into their operations

the practice of culling male pullets and weaning calves early in order to raise

profits.

I need to switch to buying meat from local farmers. I already buy local milk

because it is available at the grocery. I buy free-range eggs there, too, but I

don't know if they are produced by the cruelty-free methods you describe. The

best way to buy meat involves buying a freezer and contracting with a farmer. I

should do that this spring.
