How many times do I have to tell people the same thing before they understand it ? I have told several of my co-workers at least a dozen times that I do not eat meat. That I am tender-hearted and extremely sensitive about the suffering of animals. That I grew up on a farm with a cruel father and saw him brutalize animals far too many times. It seriously upsets me to hear stories of the pain and suffering of animals.
So I am left wondering what on earth would inspire my co-worker to tell me all about her hunting experience last weekend? What would make her think I would want to hear her explain in great detail how she and her trophy-collecting boyfriend chased down a doe and shot her, but did not kill her. How the poor deer ran for three hours trying to escape and they had to follow her blood trail.
If she didn't remember that I had told her a million times how sensitive I am about these things, you would think the look on my face surely must have given her some idea. I don't want to hear about these things! I am squeamish about even watching the discovery channel because it upsets me to see a poor animal get eaten.
Yes, I know it's nature and it's brutal. That's the way it is. It sucks being so sensitive.
