Glad to meet you at the OLCSB swine subcommittee meeting yesterday. Look forward reading your blog and experiencing parts of culture that don’t reach my eyes and ears very often.

Dear Sentinent;
Really thanks, for give us another perspective about this issue. We live, sharing and sourranding with all diferents species, and our treatment or behavior with each of them today, show us how rigth culd the way be or was, in the future.
I hope no change will be late and no sleep to be aware.

We are mammals and do not forget that this land was built to be enjoyed responsibly..

Dear Sentinent, I saw your post re the NYTimes article on the backyard chicken trend.

I too was disturbed/intrigued that few of the posters paid heed to the effect this boomlet might have on the chickens themselves. Also, I do not believe one poster mentioned the chicken lifestyle as a reason for harboring chickens.

I was given seven chickens and a rooster about four years ago, and have found the experience just busted me open to the fact that every creature deserves a chance at a full life. I can tell you for sure, chickens experience all the seven Deadly Sins, and the four Beauties–emotions many feel are confined to humans, or at the very least, mammals.

I have spoken to people who say dismissively, “chickens are dumb/souless/have as much feeling as a carrot”–these people have never been around chickens who have been given the chance to lead full chicken lives–and I say this without irony.

I would have to say, that in spite of the danger of abuse–through ignorance or carelessness–raising chickens in the backyard has got to be an improvement on the factory chicken model, and, in giving people the opportunity to live with the Other, has got to inject a bit of awareness, and open up a window in their heart to the Beingness of the Other.

thanks for a great Blog.
