@boomerexpert Your writing is wonderful...each and every thought, so appropriate, timely and should be considered by all. The only thing I would like to mention is that the certification of 'humanely certified" or 'american humane certified' is the lowest and worst certification allowing for abuse to the animals. The best is "Animal Welfare Approved" then 2nd best, "Certified Humane". Most all other certs are useless. And of course my usual suggestion... maybe leave these animals in the barnyard and off of plates. 🙂 Thanks for sharing your beautiful blog with me. I stand with you on all counts. So guess we probably need to go back to discussing MAC... lol.
