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.
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.

But chickens aren't animals, remember?

Because we all know that chickens from the supermarket are born already in the package!

Duh, that person is a serious dumbass. I don't know one person that would rather eat chickens from the store than from a farm with people who treat the chickens right

Wow. That is so stupid.

Where do people grow up these days?! Why is no one teaching them the facts of life?! I grew up on a farm and I knew by the age of 3 where meat came from!

Aren't supermarket chickens grown from seed though? Not humanely raised like Ops chickens..
jeepers_1 21
Please tell me you're trying to make a joke?
stevothedevo 25
No, I'm deadly serious? Lol.

They hatch from eggs layed from chickens just like any other chicken, the difference is how they are treated after hatching, you can't grow an animal from seed... That's like saying you can grow a human from seed
stevothedevo 25
*facepalm* Wow! Thank you for stating the obvious. I take it that you don't understand sarcasm or someone making a stupid joke
jeepers_1 21
I'm sorry some people really are that stupid these days though, I don't know what some parents teach their kids about where food comes from
jeepers_1 21
Haha you're just soo funny

Let me take a wild guess and say the idiots harassing you were either Vegan or vegetarian. Or Peta lovers.

A vegan or vegetarian encouraging someone to eat meat that comes from factory farms? That makes no sense.

Some people don't have walmart. Some people are sick of salt water injected into their meat to raise the price per pound. And some people have a better conscious knowing their bird had a decent life, not one debeaked in a battery cage. I could not eat a pet myself, but I won't judge.
