When I look at you, I see a precious young creature, with beautiful intense eyes, fluffy fur, strong legs and a sharp beak....waiting to explore your new day....and then my heart breaks. I want to hold you gently and say.. I am so sorry for how you and your family members are being treated, especially on what we humans call "Factory Farms"!
We want your eggs and your meat and we act in very cruel and painful ways toward you in order to get them. We have lost sight of The Gift of You...your living presence...your beauty...your delight in Being! Your life is taken from you before you even have a chance to grow up; in the name of profit and greed.
I had heard of Factory Farms and knew they were not the kind of place I would want to be..nor would I want any one I loved to be there and that includes you and your family members. But.. I said nothing!
I saw a video yesterday called "The peaceable Kingdom" and it showed graphic images of how chicks and cows are housed, treated and killed. It was horrible, and I am so ashamed that we humans can keep such places open without question!
The video also showed a Farm Sanctuary that a young couple run...as they do their best to rescue your family members and others from the Factory Farms!! They and their work, gave me some hope.
The way things are done in Factory Farms is becoming better known and it is my hope that we humans will care enough to say NO MORE.. and close them down.
What keeps ringing in my heart is...you are killed that we might eat your meat and your eggs and we do not even acknowledge your sacrifice...how can we be so blind...so numb!
I am sooo sorry dear chick...please forgive me..us..! I will add my voice to closing down the Factory Farms...and in the name of all that have been so badly treated we will close the Factory Farm doors.
I will do my best to help other members of our human family re-connect with you and your family members as the beautiful beings you are...separate and apart from your eggs and your meat. We will treat you with the sacred respect and honor that you deserve.
I am almost afraid to ask you for your wisdom..as you have every right to just say nothing... as we have said nothing on behalf of you and your family...yet I will ask because I truly want to hear you and I will act.
Dear Assunta,
You got your eyes opened wide yesterday and I am grateful for your tears. Like all of your "young ones", we only want to grow up and enjoy being who we are. When it is time and we are asked to give our lives so that you might eat...I wish we would be treated in a way that honors and respects the gift that We are offering. Right now, for the majority of my family that is not the case.
Do you have any idea how it feels to be so de-valued! To be beaten and broken.. and just left to die... to watch it and hear it..on a daily basis!! and Worse...to see and know...that NO ONE seems to care...Oh how that hurts...Your news reeks of tragedy...yet ours is rarely mentioned!
There are folks you can now support who speak on our behalf and that gives us hope...With a groundswell of support the necessary change can come. It may come too late for me...but..it will bless and honor my sisters and brothers. Don't let us down...thank you.
Thank you dear chick, I will not be silent.. and I will not let you down.
