I've got to get over feeling like a murderer for
killing and eating my own animals.
As I have aged I have become increasingly uncomfortable with killing of any
kind. My food habits have paralleled that feeling. Meat in my diet
currently is limited to chicken and fish, with the occasional holiday
turkey or ham. My body seems to applaud.
Just because we strive to be self-reliant doesn't mean we can't use our
community as it should be used, to complement and support individuals'
abilities and desires. Find a local butcher to do the work or trade that
work with a trusted neighbor or friend.
