I know it ' s probably too late for today , but I made a sweet potato pumpkin custard . It was delicious and tasted like pumpkin pie in a little glass jar . No nut crust to worry about . <| sep |> I stopped eating meat . But , my moral reason for doing it has less to do with killing and more to do with how much farm animals suffer while alive . I think it is more morally correct to hunt or fish than to run a factory farm . Why ? I guess what I am saying is it would be better to be shot dead by a stray bullet than to live a lifetime enslaved . <| sep |> I mean , I own and spend a lot of time around ducks , chickens and rabbits , yet I still eat duck and chicken and I will be eating rabbit in the near future . Perhaps it ' s more of a case of my animals are more sentient than those animals . Humans already love usvs . them among humans , why wouldn ' t we apply it to our animals ?
