The great American poet Edward Field wrote a poem in the sixties (regrettably both poem title and book title are now forgotten) about how Soviet scientists of the Kharkov Institute recorded a lettuce crying out when it was cut into. It was both a parody and a lamentation.
I remember a short story by the inimitable Roald Dahl in which someone creates a machime which can here vegetables scream. I can never scrape a carrot without thinking of it.
Oh, and thanks for the visit and the follow.
I will be back to read more when I have a moment to spare.
Cheers
I’d hate to contribute to their suffering. I’m happy to spare the brussels sprouts. And the asparagus. (Broccoli gets my husband back, and makes those around him pay, so I don’t feel so bad for it )
Haha! Made me laugh.
Glad to hear it. =D

Cheers to you as well! I have a Roald Dahl short story collection. I should get around to reading it soon.
So THAT’S why we don’t eat as many vegetables as they tell us too! I knew there was surely a reason.
Yes. Parents are sadists forcing their children to take advantage of these poor creatures.
Funny! Enjoyed it
Danke.
I wear earplugs.
Good call.

You are right …the animals stay quiet when you butcher them …. Ha ha
I wish I had thought of a retort as funny every time a vegetarian told me something about eating meat.
=)
I approve. My personal cure for vegetarianism is, ‘For every animal you don’t eat, I’ll eat three.”
And thank you for subscribing to my blog!
Only three? Lol
Don’t want to be too much of a meanie, now, do I?
haha
