@DowsDawg:

In fact I was raised on a farm either. I saw chicken beheading since I was 3, I participated in pigs slaughter twice a year and it was a family "event". We've been given pigs tails and years for play - I was 5 or 6 y/o. I de-feathered bleeding ducks and hens. At the age of 20 I couldn't live a single day without meat. I was RAISED to be a carnivore. But I'm sure I was not born as one.

I was lucky to escape. Thank you Julia for your passionate and hard work... for your see more constant fight for self-improvement.
