When a chicken has no beak

An interesting read....Note:
1) the useful stats that Singapore imports 90% of our food
2) most of us grow up in an environment where we do not see the actual animals roaming around...chickens are just slabs of meat we find nicely packaged on the shelves of supermarkets....It is no wonder we have little or no environmental conscience or love for the environment. Realize that, just like in any human relationships, we need to be in contact and physically interact with them before we can develop any love and hence be willing to make sacrifices for them. In the case of Mother Nature, not only do we have little chance of interacting with her animals, the precious few greenery we have here also have to make way for buildings. With little contact with Mother Nature, you can't blame the little boy for thinking that chickens have no beaks but are just drum sticks. He will grow up having little awareness of Mother Nature and hence little love for her....He will be alienated from Mother Nature and be desensitized towards her suffering.
