most domesticated animals don't eat what they'd "naturally" eat LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 10/11/2009 01:10:36 PM
when was the last time you fed a dog a haunch of venison or a cat a nice juicy raw pheasant?

Alfalfa and Brome pastures do not exist in nature.

Any native grass to America a horse eats is not on their natural menu.

Snakes do not dine on frozen mice

Goldfish do not dine on flakes

If the animal's feed enables proper digestion and proper nutrition, I do not see the problem.


Out of curiosity, do your local meat producers meet your standards of care? No feed lot cattle, pigs weren't raised with grain, chickens housed in the front yard?

I don't see why anyone doesn't grow turkeys free range...freaking bastards would come at me in an enclosed space and I wouldn't be able to get away... Turkeys are out to get me.

Fair enough, I didn't realise you were making unrelated comments for no clear reason snoopcester - 09/11/2009 11:42:59 PM 530 Views
it was related to what you were saying about standards LadyLorraine - 09/11/2009 11:44:27 PM 496 Views
No, it was not related to what I was saying about chicken raising standards snoopcester - 10/11/2009 10:55:18 AM 512 Views

You should use the quote box thingy on the far right of the Smiley Codes, it would make it easier Danu - 10/11/2009 01:01:02 AM 590 Views

true. But I think at this point we are getting away from commercially raised and more towards pets. Avendesora - 10/11/2009 02:29:01 PM 626 Views
