My little dinosaur and her bone. 🥰 There’ll be leftovers from this pork chop bone but with chicken bones, she’ll eat the marrow and bone until there’s absolutely nothing left.
And yes (because someone’s going to ask) lots of birds eat meat (and eggs). To my understanding African Greys are like the crows of Africa, they’re carrion birds.
Yes, I am an animal lover and I still eat meat. Humans aren’t above animals and animals aren’t above plants. All life survives off of other life. Every glass of water we drink is filled with living bacteria, as is our skin covered in it and our gut lined with it. Plants have feelings too. To me it’s about being grateful to the lives I eat, and, yes, it would be nice to live in a world where we raised our food in ethical ways, treating them like royalty considering the nourishment they provide us with.
The grace I intermittently say to Saba as I feed her (tonight’s): “Say thank you piggy and peas and grapes and cherries for your lives so that I may nourish my own.” Then she clicks her tongue (her version of ‘thank you’) and digs in.
