Conscious Execution

I don't know much about it yet, but next month I will be going to slaughter.

From the sound of that first sentence, I could very well be one of the chickens. I intuit that they have an idea of what we want them for, maybe no more details than that we will take their lives brutally without the kind of gratitude a natural chase in the wild would produce. I understand that many people think that chickens are stupid and I'm not disagreeing, I would actually add that most humans have the potential to be equally stupid, I am not saying they are smart, i am saying they have something we don't. All animals do. Even if we fence them in, take their eggs and put them on a tight feeding schedule, they have information that can't be put into language.

I'm no scientist but I am positing that there is information in dirt, in grass, in the DNA of weeds, there is information in trees and in decomposing matter (shit, bodies, fruit etc). This data is like nature's record keeping system and animals are fluent in that language where as we, if we once were, are currently not.
Don't get me wrong, I eat meat. I ****ing love it. I am also a woman and I stand fast to the belief that we who carry wombs around find it more difficult to take life unconsciously. I am talking about a prayer and a moderate amount of forethought and consideration...details of progressive, humane death-house to come.
