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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

Let the incessant mockery begin! As a former free range chicken farmer, that person is the definition of dumbass. Good on you op for home grown.

This is dumb. Good people don't eat animals at all.

So then I guess that means all humans are instinctually bad, and the only "good" people are the ones who go against their natural instincts for meat to go eat grass instead.

Too bad some people don't get eaten by pterodactyls anymore.

Most supermarket chickens are raised 5-6 to a cage and never see the light of day. They are de-beaked so they peck each other to death and fed so many antibiotics to keep them from getting sick due to the abysmal living conditions they are raised in. I was a vegetarian for nearly 20 years due to supermarket meats and the practices that are used to raised them. I now only eat free-range humanely raised animals that I purchase from local farmers and once I have a house I plan to raise my own chickens for eggs and meat. That person is most definitely ignorant of the way that farming works for the masses.

Yeah, since apparently the supermarket magically makes meat without killing animals ._.

if you think the animals used for meat in stores get treated 10% as good as anyones "pet" your a fool
HockeyGirl97 2
You're. Dip sh*t. And that is complete crap. Chickens kept as pets are treated so much better. I'm also giving you benefit of the doubt assuming you've never met a person with chickens or any other farm animal as a pet.

Cows and chickens aren't pets... They are food

You might want to reread, 109; from what I can gather, they're agreeing with you.
