"Mel if Jade and her friends and consumers didnt need them,would they be left to roam?"

It is simple; if we did not breed them, the rest would live out their natural lives in peace and the cycle of exploitation would stop. In my view, if an animal is assigned a "purpose", it is exploitation. If the cows did not produce milk or meat then I am sure they would not have been kept there in the first place on the farm!

Farmers cull unproductive chickens and cows and replace them with animals from a previous generation. It is not a symbiotic relationship! As a pagan who believes in a certain type of karma I cannot resolve this. I canoot see it is my right to willingly shorten the wonderful precious lives of animals or human animals.

Blessings
Melanie
