Hmm... treating the animals as equals and making them work for their food. I never would have thought about it that way. I guess as long as they are not abused or made to work using negative reinforcement then it could be acceptable.

Still, the animals can't tell us what type of job they want to be used for... just for eating the grass so it won't get to tall, giving us fertilizer, letting us have eggs or milk, letting us sacrifice it for meat and hyde... most of them probably have no concept of being put to work for us. It seems like taking advantage of someone whose intelligence is lesser than ours, for our own gain.... as long as we keep the animal alive and fed.

That'd still be a hard thing for me to accept. I will think about it some more.


Hemp for money... well, at one time people could pay taxes with it, so why not just for everything?! That'd be really damn awesome.
