Today at our lunch and learn the Farmyard Four met and we talked more about humans who are vegetarians and they have asked me a few questions that I am researching tonight and I will ask people on twitter tomorrow as well.
They mostly want to know why people are vegetarians. I have told them that people who eat meat are eating more meat than ever so Carmel in particular was very curious about the people who are choosing to do the opposite.
As animals sometimes it is our instinct to follow the herd and do what the other animals who are like us are doing and I think we are finding the idea of vegetarians very interesting as having human allies in our messages to the rest of the farmyard might do a lot to ease the minds of some of the louder animals, like the chickens, who are starting to talk very openly about their dislike of the humans who eat them and I see Barry all the time over in the coop now and whispering in their little ears and I wonder what he is up to.
It is also interesting to me because I know from my cat friends on twitter that cats eat chickens and I wonder what the chickens would think if they knew that about Barry?
