We both grew up in southwest missouri in farming communities. Maegen grew up on a dairy farm, but they also did hay and alfalfa. I grew up working as a farm hand at preffered farms in pierce city MO. We raised beef cattle and ran tyson chicken houses. When Meg was 8 her family dairy farm was unfortunatley sold to DFA (dairy farmers of america) because her father could simply not compete with them
any more. The reason i feel our background is so important for you to know is because our relationship with farm animals runs deep and is a big part of the majority of our beliefs. Our fight has never been to get everyone in the world to stop eating meat, but rather bringing awarness and compassion to the animals themselves. raising animals for food does not mean the exisetence for the animals has to be horrific, but first we must understand that all creatures have the ability to feel pain, stress, but also love. It's been said better before, "The measure of a society can be how well its people treat its animals" Ghandi.
