I'm a non-vegetarian animal lover. I don't eat my animals because they are pets - even the chickens at QAWS are safe from being dinner.

I'm an animal welfare advocate. If the animal is treated correctly within the limitations of the 5 Freedoms, I don't see there being an issue with eating meat, or eggs, or drinking milk.

I don't agree with battery farming, intensive farming systems, cruel transportation or inhumane slaughtering techniques. I don't eat cat or dog or horse or even rabbit. I find the farming of veal and fois gras disgusting yet I used to work on an organic, free range rare breeds farm in the UK that used to send a certain number of surplus animals for slaughter and then sold the meat in the farm shop.

But this isn't the place to discuss this as this is about Sabed finding her cat.
