You may rear or farm them for your food, but it is absolutely inhumane to subject them to unnecessary abuse and cruelty. This is why Muslims practise their animals to be slaughtered throught the Halal way, where animals are calmed down, prayers offered for them before they are slaughtered. This was explained to me by a Muslim friend of mine. I still believe animals have souls. When I was a kid, our family used to live in one of those landed property pre-war Peranakan bunglows. We used to rear our own chickens, ducks, had a few goats, two cats, three dogs , a piglet and a lotus pond where we reared fishes like the sheng yu and the soon hock. Even as a kid, I gave them all each a name. Thus we had our own supply of eggs, goat's milk, lotus seeds and fresh water fish. We also have a plot of land where we planted our own vegatables and about 60 pots of orchids. When we have to slaughter one of them for an occassion, I felt very sad, and so did my grandma. Thus I grew up having these connection with animals. Infact be it a plant or an animal, they are all just lives to me. Even when a plant of mine died due to my own forgetfullness to water them, I feel sad for them due to my own negligence. Really don't understand why should that guy, just punch and kick the calf. That cruelty really doesn't makes sense.

Im so speechless sometimes i ran out of sarcastic remarks.

It is the picture of the woman. That victim actually looks like a man. Come on, this is not rocket science.

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily, gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said "you have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one." You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. Make sure you control your temper the next time you are tempted to say something you will regret later.
