I Am a Meat Eater

I haven't eaten meat since I was eight and saw chickens getting their throats cut; or once, in my grandmother's case, half cut with a blunt knife before escaping to fly all around the house. I know plants have a life of sorts, but somehow breaking off a leaf of lettuce isn't as traumatic - to me anyway! Where I live there are a lot of sheep which I regard as fluffy white replacements for grass mowers.
