It's a good idea. Only trouble is that any animals need a lot of food and water to get by, too. It's easier with chickens or fish or whatever because they're smaller, but it's still competition when your problem is land you can grow shit on in the first place. And too many people here are bleeding hearts about animals. You'll have to get people over that.
I'm sure somebody'd step up to butcher if we needed it, it's just...not giving any space to get attached beforehand. New critters, clean slate. Start new and they'll adapt fine.
[That's a lot of talk, after that koi fish incident, but Tess doesn't let on to that thought.]
I sure hope so. There's always people in any group that just don't adapt at all, and a lot that are too slow to pick up... I do not relish the idea of having to hold anyone's hand through a crisis.
[Meal fish aren't pretty fish. Difference between livestock and pets is important.]
I'd like to think this place weeds out capable people, but it can't be that generous across the board. They'll make themselves known if it happens, I guess.
