seeker, I don't condemn anyone for raising animals for food (I eat meat), but I'm appalled when they make the animal a pet first.

As for that Chickens magazine, I flipped through an issue at the bookstore, and it had recipes for chicken dishes!!! Aaaghhh! No, not a big surprise, but I was just hoping there was a magazine devoted to the love of chickens as pets. Disappointment!!!
