Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Good. Last week at work I walked into the breakroom where one guy was reading the paper about a turkey processor in MN that was investigated by the HSUS and the list of cruelties was in the paper. I started to hear it as I walked in as he was reading aloud. Another co-worker was laughing about it and I blew up at them all. Then I felt bad about it because the guy reading is a sensitive baby of a near 50 year old man. But to me hearing those things is like hearing about rape and having someone laugh at it. Now I am trying to make them forget I blew up but just know to never mention anything about animals and pain around me again- or hunting for that matter. Bird hunting doesn't get me too riled but when you hear about shooting deer and not dropping them right away that is horrible. And here deer hunting is like a news story every fall! no kidding.
My response to stuff like that is usually "how would you feel if that was your dog?" Like around here people shoot coyotes just to kill them and then they just let them lay where they were shot because they are not regulated. I say (and tell my husband to respond) the thing about it being their dog. I mean what is the difference between a dog and a coyote? not much!
