Question of the Day!

Grandpa owned a farm with pigs, cows, chickens, ducks, dogs, cats, and even a goat. Every time I think about it, I still find it hard to eat meat for weeks afterward. Watching those animals day after day, I realized they think, dream, and communicate in ways we don’t always acknowledge.

Grandpa raised them for food, and I understood that, but as a child I couldn’t help wondering if they knew what they were being raised for. I used to ask my parents whether those animals went to heaven. The question never really left me.

I believe animals are far more aware, intelligent, and emotionally present than we give them credit for.
