Thank you chicken

For our Christmas dinner we wanted to eat turkey but we really didn't have the money to afford one.

One day our neighbor who is is part of a local NGO doing sustainable living projects called us to join on killing some chickens. A farm near where we live has chickens but the old man who owns it doesn't have the guts to kill them and so he gave us 4. Whoever had the guts to do the whole process of killing it could have them. Mark and I gave it a try. For me it was my second time but the first time I spent most of the time clearing my tears. 

We try not to have meat at home because if we don't know where it comes from and who is doing all the work for us we don't buy it.
So here are some pictures that my neighbor took of me doing it.
I recommend once in your life time to do it, it just makes you realize how greedy we are for wanting to eat such a living being without any consciousness of what kind of life it lived, what it was fed and how it came beautifully packed to your supermarket.
I don't think meat is something to be had everyday in every meal. 

Just in special occasions when you are celebrating some special event or when you have too many chickens that you can't feed anymore. 

Thank you chicken for your contribution, we are very grateful to you. 

Some of the pictures are a bit difficult to see but if you cannot see this or do it you should consider not eating it. For those who can't see blood... don't roll down anymore.
