Today, I was denounced for being a terrible person, because my family raises chickens, some of which we eat. I was then told how cruel I am for "killing innocent birds" and that "good" people buy their meat from the supermarket. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, I tried to be kind to animals and get my dad to buy cage-free eggs. When I told him it was dollar more, he started yelling and making a scene in the middle of the store, saying that chickens are ugly and they deserve to suffer. FML
Hypocrisy
Today, my roommate raged at me for "lying" about being a vegetarian, because she saw chicken stored in my side of the fridge. That chicken isn't for me, it's an ingredient in the homemade food I make for my dogs. Apparently, serving my dogs real meat instead of forcing them into vegetarianism makes me a hypocrite. FML
Disconnect
Today, I told my younger sister that meat comes from cute animals like chickens and cows, hoping she'd want to be vegan like me. Instead, she laughed and made up a song about how chickens turn into tenders and cows turn into cheeseburgers. I ended up being the one who got upset. FML
Truth bomb
Today, my 4 year-old daughter thought it was funny that the chicken on her plate and chickens on farms are called the same name. I had my mouth full so I couldn’t stop my rotten eldest son from saying, “That’s because chicken is dead chickens.” Cue her crying while my son cackled like a sociopath. FML
Today, my vegan step-mom found out I ate at McDonald's yesterday. She gave me hell and asked me how it feels to give money to "murderers". All while my dad sat quietly by because he's too whipped to speak his mind. It wasn't even her house a month ago. FML
Today, I was lectured by a self-professed vegan over my "barbaric" eating habits, in between her scarfing down a tuna fish sandwich. FML
Health risk
Today, my mum gave me half-raw chicken for dinner. After she refused to cook it again, I threw it away saying that I didn't want to get salmonella. She told to be more grateful, and that I was an idiot for trying to use salmonella as an excuse because, "It's chicken, not salmon." FML
All over cheese?
Today, my family had an argument with me because I bought the wrong kind of cheese. They never said what kind they wanted. The argument ended with my mother saying that she wished she could kill herself, because of how horrible of a person I am. FML
Mind your own beeswax
Today, a stranger at a bird show yelled at me for owning an "unnatural and irresponsibly bred" hybrid lorikeet. He's a rescue who was horribly abused in his last home. Fuck me for giving a shit about animals even if they're not pure I guess. FML
Digging my heels in
Today, my family dragged me to a steakhouse, knowing full well I'm vegan. I sat there, with my sad little salad, watching as they stuffed themselves with burned animal flesh and laughed at me. They wonder why I hate them all. FML

Yes, god-fearing people buy their meat from the big companies who keep their chickens stacked in a square foot box, stacked 10 high in rows of 100, where mans dominion is unquestioned, how dare you blaspheme and raise chickens in a sustainable manner.

But chickens aren't animals, remember?

Tell him that the superkarkets' chickens were kept in smaller, densely populated cages before they were slaughtered in the most inhumane way legal.

Lol wtf? People are crazy and no matter where you get your meat from the animal is still killed

People who buy their meat at a supermarket aren't "good," we are merely in denial over how it got there. And, I'm OK with that.

actually those words come from different languages. cow, deer, pig is English. beef, venison, pork is French.

I recently met a woman who had no idea that fish actually had heads and didn't just come from the supermarket already as a filet. We live a life of convenience and it's more convenient to NOT know where our food comes from or how it's processed. I like to know where my food comes from so supermarket meat is not my thing.

Sorry, but I agree. If I had to choose between killing my own chickens and being a vegetarian, I'd be a vegetarian.

Then you don't deserve to eat animals at all if you couldn't kill one to eat it. Practice what you preach -- wannabe animal rights people like you make no sense.

I though about what you said and I began to think maybe I should become a vegetarian it would be better for me and the animals! So I decided am going to kill my self for having such terrible thoughts poison my head.

You do realize that people killed their own food for thousands of years. They didn't raise things like chickens as PETS. Everything had its value towards survival.

But this FML is not really about being a vegetarian in the first place. They are saying that the OP should eat meat from a supermarket instead of their own home raised meat. Because supermarkets obviously do not kill any animals to get that meat. But they are not saying that OP should not eat meat at all.

I think what she means is she doesn't like all the blood. Personally, I love any sort of edible meat. My issue is seeing it killed. My dad brought home a deer he shot one year and hung it in the backyard to skin and gut it. I couldn't stand to go out there 'til the rain washed the blood away. My little dachshund was afraid of it too and ended up having accidents in the house because she refused to go out the door. This is a dog that has killed moles and squirrels and left them on the kitchen floor.

But when you have a choice between eating chickens that are factory farmed, grow so fast that their legs can't hold their body weight so they end up with horrible sores from dragging their bodies around, then get stuffed in a crate, stacked in a truck, driven to a factory where they're hung up by their legs and electrocuted then have their throats slit, and being a vegetarian, you'd rather eat the chicken?

30 - Ugghhh, this makes zero sense. I AM a vegetarian but if I had to eat meat I'd rather have to kill it myself than buy it from a supermarket because it proves that I can deal with the knowledge and responsibility that eating meat actually requires. Actually, I'd even respect an omnivore that would be prepared to raise and kill their own meat sustainably more than one of those vegetarians/vegans that go on and on about it and ruin it for the normal ones. People that eat meat but can't deal with how it gets to their plate and can't deal with eating cute, fluffy animals just get no respect at all.

I learned the facts of life early, it's important to know where food comes from, I saw a deer butchered when I was 3 and it didn't traumatize me, I understood that it was going to feed us.

Then don't? I've never had to behead a chicken, but I shoot and clean my own deer every year. And then my dad makes jerkey :3: tastey, tastey jerkey...

Ok that's just crazy... I mean my mom had chickens as pets which we didn't eat because that would be gross but ones raised for food are a different matter entirely
