We Are The Farm

I have been thinking and thinking and thinking about my speech and here is what I hope to be able to properly communicate on Friday.

I do want to talk to humans about their eating habits and I have an outlet for those thoughts here on my weblog and on twitter and especially about their eating habits where it concerns turkeys and pigs and lambs and, okay, maybe even the chickens too, but before I start giving speeches to humans I need to know that I have the support of the animals around me first and this is what Petunia meant when she said to define "us" first and so that is what this Friday is about. It is the first step.

I do not think the animals on the farm know how many animals humans eat so I want to tell them some facts about that and I will be collecting those facts on google over the coming days.

Carmel asked me a really good question and she asked me "What emotion do you want every animal who hears you speak on Friday feeling when they leave after your speech?" and it made me think of the speech called "I Have A Dream" and I want the animals to leave my speech feeling closer to one another despite the fact that some of them have feathers and some have snouts and some have tails and some do not. I want the animals to feel united and yes of course we love the man and the woman and we do not hate humans but I want them to feel a part of the word "us" whenever I am saying "us" in the future.

So my question to you is how do I do that? How can I create an idea of "us"? And I do not want to bore them too much with all the facts and numbers but they are important too.

I am open to any thoughts and suggestions all you beautiful people might have.
