We not now of course because I have a turtle now and I love him/her (don't really know) to death! Haha. But yes, when I was a kid, I used to have a pet chicken that I raised from an egg. We even had an incubator and chicken house (or whatever its called) built just for it. But then one day, my parents said my pet ran away. We all know what that means right? I was sad to lose my pet of course. Then that very day, surprisingly we had chicken for lunch. Yes it was my chicken. Now I was young and oblivious back then so I never recognized my beloved pet on the table and went on eating. To my parents' surprise I suddenly paused and said: "sayang, sana yung manok ko nlng kinaen ntin!" ("Its too bad my chicken ran away. We could have just eaten it instead of this one"). So there, thats how I ended up eating my pet. :( Don't judge me! :)) I loved my pet chicken. But I apparently loved fried chicken more.

Haha. Well I did have my fair share of strange pets. Hmmm. Does it count if it lived in our front yard?

I eat a vegan diet and animals are my friends. You ate chicken like any other meat eater and at the time didn't know it was your pet chicken. Your parents were wrong to say the chicken ran away if they killed and got all your family to eat her. When I was a teenager my family had pet rabbits, a pet chicken and two pet ducks. We didn't eat any of them and loved each one of them. I am glad you love your turtle that you have now.
