Growing up in the suburbs, pets were my closest association with animals. At 16, I worked one summer on a girlfriend's family farm/orchard to earn money. Toward the end of the season, her father killed a sheep for family food. He did it so quickly and cleanly, the animal was dead before she could go into shock. This and other pleasant farm experiences informed my outlook for many years. It was a terrible grief to learn how ("Food,Inc.," The Meatrix, The True Cost of Food by the Sierra Club, et cetera) animals are raised and killed. How the flesh and other body parts are abused or used, to the detriment of our health, and that of our pets,though just as sickening, seems just a continuance of the same attitude. After hearing a recent interview with David Kirby ("Animal Factory")in which he mentioned this new standard AWA, this website came up. I feel very relieved and thankful to know of this. Like many, many other people, I am for a respectful, peaceful relationship between people, business, the environment, and the resources we use, including animals and plants. I envy a bit, you and your mom! Lucinda, you are very lucky to have had such a peaceful and respectful
