I had a rescue chick once when we lived in Hawaii. Winos women in need of Sanity shirt, also in the little bed, I made him next to mine. He went everywhere with me and followed me like I was his mother. Then one day he started to loose his little yellow feathers and got really ugly. Templeton wasn’t a chicken after all but a turkey. Mom rescued two chickens off a chicken truck and named them Henry and Henrietta. They lived in the chicken coop close to the farm house. Those chickens followed us everywhere, as did the other critters, especially on walks.

Walking single file on the path through the woods, Winos women in need of Sanity shirt, ridiculously tame, the 2 dogs scampered alongside, the cat hiding from one tree or shrub to another, and those chickens clucking behind. What a menagerie, and a great memory. They were all apart of our family. That’s a noble and kind thought, but it’s naive IMHO. That is because it’s in nature that animals eat other animals. The problem is not that we eat animals, it’s how we treat them, in general, that’s the problem.
