Interesting. I can see most people agreeing with centralizing education given that they won't see much difference between state/local government oversight and federal government oversight. Plus, local taxes go down, YAY!
I cannot, in good conscience, agree to murder. I would not condone the killing of a three-month old child because his/her parents were being/already were abusive to the child, why then should a child conceived only a few months later be subject to death for such a reason?
Fairly young. Most of them weren't big enough to lay eggs/butcher yet...
There was some blood spilled on the ground, which I take to mean that there was most likely a predator killing the chickens as opposed to a disease. Sorry for not saying that earlier >.<. Maybe I ought to set out some traps...
I bought some chicks from the local Tractor Supply a while back (I choose what they eat + they taste so much better when you raise/butcher them yourself) and everything seemed to be going ok. We had a nice enclosed chicken coop so that the dogs, hawks etc couldn't get at 'em...or so we thought...
