I have felt "at home" in the Amish community for 25+ years and have only grown in my admiration for their way of life and fierce faith. The Amish are very Biblical about their view of animals. They (the animals) are put on this earth to assist us and serve us (through work, and as a food source). To put them equal with a human, or above a human, is blasphemy. That being said, why would an Amish farmer mistreat a "tool" that serves him so well... Thank you Kim @ Golden Pines...you nailed it.Sherry Sutherby http://russ-stickacres.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/05464706618501384881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858807769208269777.post-60901187150614883802012-04-28T19:47:28.268-04:002012-04-28T19:47:28.268-04:00I have come to admire and respect the Amish, and w...I have come to admire and respect the Amish, and while I know first hand about the Amish puppy-mills, I won't judge an entire group of people or let that detract from the peace you felt and enjoyment you had in your visit, and that I enjoyed reading about and look forward to reading about again!!~Kim at Golden Pines~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02001523468339091407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858807769208269777.post-25917258771874208602012-04-28T00:18:43.999-04:002012-04-28T00:18:43.999-04:00I do not believe that Sherry would associate with ...I do not believe that Sherry would associate with any known animal abusers. I have never heard that the Amish were all saints either. As in any population you will always have a percentage of less than desirable members, however, as a generally accepted view, the Amish as a group is viewed with favorable, even beloved regards.<br /><br />Let us teach those who may not know that all living animals are creatures of God our Father and are deserving of the respect that that affords them. Let’s not denigrate an entire group of people because of what a minute few may or may not do. <br /><br />I only wish that more individuals would emulate the Amish and their faith. I personally have nothing but the highest respect for this group of people and their way of life. I hope Sherry keeps making and growing friendships with the Amish and that she allows the rest of us a glimpse of her journey.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858807769208269777.post-24436243249194911102012-04-27T23:06:28.220-04:002012-04-27T23:06:28.220-04:00Miss you, Sherry!

Pick up the harness of one of those lovely steeds and see the scars. And the puppy mills they run are hard to romanticize also.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858807769208269777.post-18701211982547455122012-04-27T18:54:41.612-04:002012-04-27T18:54:41.612-04:00Hello Sherry - it's been a while since I'v...Hello Sherry - it's been a while since I've visited (so very sorry for the absence) - but in doing a little catch-up, I felt very much like how you describe your visits to the Amish communities - a little like "going home" and "fitting in." Truly enjoy your posts.
