Because of how the article was worded, there's been a few curious questions about Terry's health…Read More status too. Don Goble reports he is doing just fine.
Emily Goble January 18, 2013 at 08:46 pm
To clarify....Terry is NOT sick. My surgeries were December 2010 and March 2011, so I'm far into my…Read More recovery. I do plan to have surgery to lower my risk for ovarian. My Mom has had cancer 5 times (not 8) and 3 of her bouts were forms of ovarian. I am very well, and simply thankful that I had (and have) the choice to take action. I would love to be a resource for women considering this path for themselves. Thank you for all the sweet comments.

You should be a resources to all women. Your story is a source of hope for everyone.

Well, if you are going to allow chickens, which are farm animals, then yo must allow
horses, cows,…Read More and other farm animals. This is ridiculous, get rid of the chickens.

Horses, Cows, Goats, and other 'farm' animals tend to need a lot more land to live on.

Chickens are home bodies and do quite well on a small plot of land.
The US government throughout…Read More most of the last century encouraged every family to keep a small flock of chickens in their backyards.
They eat bugs and weed seeds eliminating the need for pesticides and herbicides, They fertilize the land when they forage.
The bedding from the coop makes great compost further enriching the garden soil.
Keeping chickens is great for animal welfare. For every backyard chicken, there is one less in a battery layer cage with 100,000 others stacked 6 deep that never feel sunlight, can't spread their wings, can't take a dust bath, can't have privacy when they lay an egg and must be fed antibiotics every day to keep disease from spreading through the flock.
It's also recommended that veterans with PTSD keep chickens because it is one of the few activities that seem to alleviate the disorder.
It's one of the only pets that feeds you breakfast. Except maybe for ducks, geese, turkeys, emus, rheas and ostrich.
For anyone concerned about animal welfare but can't raise their own - find someone that does and buy their eggs. We can diminish the need for factory farms.
