Good luck getting most of the crowd here to understand this perspective. I applaud your attempt at encouraging people to stop and think about things, but most people here seem to have grown up well protected from difficult things and think that if they try hard enough all pain and struggle can be removed from the path of humans through time. I just finished my chicken slaughter for the season; it being fall up in the Northern Hemisphere. I did my best to make sure the chickens didn't suffer too much, but killing is not a perfect science. I do know that they were really well taken care of compared to the wild birds around us for the last three months. I would never wish Guinea worm on anyone. I have first-hand experience with worm-based parisites and the pain/suffering they bring. It's awful. But life is a cycle, and belief in eradication of anything as a solution to suffering is, I believe, evil in it's truest sense.
