4H - Crushing Compassion Since 1913
Artist
Twyla Francois
Medium
Painting - Acrylic On Canvas
Description
Like most rural children, I enrolled in 4H. As part of the Animal Husbandry course, my friend and I lovingly raised a calf and entered him in the annual fair. Only after recognizing the man bidding on our calf as the local butcher did we realize what we had done. No amount of tears allowed the calf to be returned to us. It is in fact a stated rule of 4H that no child can have his or her animal back. 4H crushes compassion in budding animal producers from an early age.

beautiful painting.......heart breaking subject matter. Love your work! Maybe one day humankind will 'wake up' and treat all animals with the respect and kindness they deserve.......I truly hope so.
Twyla Francois replied:
Thanks so much, Louise. I share that hope with you. I think we're getting there but it can't come soon enough for these animals.

Oh my goodness! How could you have 20 views on this and NO comments? This painting ( which is really a great painting ) along with your Description of it, is so so heartbreaking! I wish and pray there could be another way for us to get food! Like....lots of veggies and fish and nuts and peanut butter! Thank you for all that you are doing for farmed animals! God bless you! f/l
