Slaughter was kept hidden from me until one day I ran out of the house and saw my *pet* cow being shot in the head, then later hung from a tow truck and slaughtered. I also viewed sheep being slaughtered, chickens, hogs, etc etc. I had the same reaction as your girlfriend for years. I got over it. Now eat all kinds of meat and enjoy it. Perhaps she too will get over it. Trish ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!
