No, Diana, I am not a vegetarian.
BudgieBoy, I am not saying hunting is evil nor am I saying I think you shouldn't hunt or fish. I am particularly okay with it when it's used for food for your family, but I am against trapping animals for their fur. In today's modern world, nobody needs animal furs to keep warm., and I will always maintain that animal furs look breathtakingly beautiful on the live animal, but grotesque on humans. I know I'm opening a can of worms here, but we tend to be an animal-loving group, and my personal feeling is very much against killing animals for sport or for the fun or it or for bragging rights. I understand killing food animals for food, although I do wish there were a practical way around even that.
Again, I am glad that you are buying a new cage for your budgies, but like Luvs explained it, it's sad to hear that you are killing minks to pay for it.

I have been working on becoming a vegetarian for along time. I have not been able to completely convert. When I was young, I believe I ate meat or fish twice a day. Now, I have meat once or twice a week. I feel terrible when I hear about the suffering of animals in factory farms.
I would never hunt or fish, but I did not grow up with those activities. I think that, for those who do, it is as hard to give it up as it is for me to completely give up meat. It feels natural to them. I don't wear fur. But, I do wear leather shoes.
So many things we do affect other life forms on the planet.
My daughter has been a vegetarian for more than ten years, and I really admire her. She said one of the things that put her over the edge was when she saw a whole truckload of piggies going down the highway, presumable to slaughter.

Yes, of course I know what a mink is.
Diana, I would like to consume less animal products. I don't know that I will ever become a true vegetarian, and there's no point in even considering it right now while I have a family to raise. My husband has no interest in becoming a vegetarian, so I really don't see it happening. But yeah, I would like to find ways to eat less meat. I do admire people like your daughter who have the discipline to pull it off.

Chace, it's normal for threads to morph from one topic to another as people engage in discussion. I believe we answered your original question by saying that 100% yes, you should replace your cage that has a cracked plastic bottom. We are happy to hear that you are planning to do so. When you do, and have it all set up and your budgies moved into it, I'm sure we would enjoy seeing pictures of your new setup. Have fun getting it ready!

I'm glad I could make you happy by remembering and using your real name. I like your name! I didn't want to make you unhappy at all. Trapping animals for their fur does make me unhappy, though, so please, I'd like to not talk about that anymore for now, okay? I hope you have a wonderful day, Chace. |
