I did see one of my roosters butchered this week. I eat meat. That was plenty of truth for awhile.
We sang an North African killing song (for guinnea birds) that helped. Everyone was reverent. I didn't have the nerve to eat my rooster. I gave it to my good farm friends.
The blood was brilliant red, then very quickly dulled. Flute's last moments. He kicked and kicked after his head was removed--his life force in that body was so strong. I couldn't help feeling that I betrayed him. I did.
Guess avoid slaughterhouses while on norco tapers. :(
