I guess killing sheep for their blood isn't all that different from killing sheep, or cows, or anything else to eat them; but somehow it seems like a bigger deal. Maybe because most people don't have to do it themselves to get meat, and it's one of those things where not thinking about it makes it easier to go on with your life.

I couldn't do it, I'm glad that some people are able to. For my own sake and for everyone else who can't. Or wouldn't.

Anyway, I'm not exactly sure what we're supposed to be protecting ourselves from, but if it really works I guess it's worth while. An only child counts as first born, after all. But that sounds selfish, putting it that way.

I'll be glad when this is over.
