Climate

​As the world environment is altered, not just through the ultimate effect called climate change, we still have developers building expensive apartments and homes in sensitive environments for the sublime view that they destroy in the process. Weather and overgrazing are drying out and destroying our farm land. Overeating and food waste are common place. Calling on our gods will not help; only calling on and demanding action from the body politic and from ourselves will effect change.

STORIES - Killing

Killing
As a boy killing animals for food was a part of life, I can remember being taken to the local abattoir and watching a calf being killed. I am not sure whether this was on a school excursion or, as my sister worked in the local Butcher Shop, it was just a casual visit. Either way, while I felt sorry for the calf, the killing did not particularly affect, possibly because it was one of my jobs to kill any non-laying chicken, for the table. Remove head with an axe, drain the blood, dip in a copper laundry tub of hot water and feathers removed, then gut. The latter was fascinating, saving the heart, gizzard, liver and searching for un-formed eggs, just yolks, if there were a number we had made a mistake re non-laying, but they were collected anyway and used in cakes. The offal was cooked, the heart and gizzard were fought over by my brother and I, being older he usually won and had which ever he fancied on the day.​
