I don't remember doing it myself, but I remember my mum milking the goats. One of our goats was called Dinah and we would sing that song that starts "I've been working on the railroad," as she would do it. They are really sweet memories for me, and even though I now know better and wouldn't do it myself, I wouldn't trade those memories for the world.

I remember doing it once and feeling a weird connection with the cow. But then again, it was a class where all kids got to milk the cow, so maybe I was just really gentle and cow was grateful. I think farms are great ways to get kids to feel compassion with animals, even if the animals are being raised for non-vegan agendas.

They would should all of the animals at the city fair and I loved them so much. When I realized there were feedlots in a 2km vicinity all around our home (this was Alberta...) I was horrified. They had to take us on our "farm animal field trip" all the way to the Hutterite Colony because the Hutterites were the only ones treating their animals with enough care to not traumatize us kids. I didn't understand why my mum made me eat the ground beef on my plate when cows were so cute and I was a happy camper with veggies. Eventually she gave up trying to convince me otherwise, especially when I refused to eat anything that was once an animal.Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16807358912964203884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-37252676089096250382014-09-23T00:36:40.889-07:002014-09-23T00:36:40.889-07:00What a sweet story!

Isn't it interesting how just one experience (like the cow being stolen while you were there) can change our lives and point us in a new direction?
