I agree with you Victoria, about the Amish. I also dislike their treatment of women—females in general. I have a niece and her husband has this romantic view of the Amish and I enlightened him a bit about the puppy mills, poor treatment of animals, etc. He is in denial……..but that’s ok.
Now, having said that, I don’t wish them any ill will. I live in VA and we visited southern MD on Oct. 2 for my 4 year old great nephew’s birthday. The day before, a pickup truck had slammed into the rear of an Amish buggy and a 12 year old girl was thrown out and killed. Very sad for everyone. Surprisingly, you don’t hear of too many casualties with them sharing the roads with cars. With the growth of the general population and traffic being what it is, it is amazing there aren’t more accidents, but they generally travel the roads during the day, so I imagine that helps.

Truly I am not a fan of the Amish (or the Menonites for that matter) It has nothing to do with their religion more to do with their treatment of animals as a whole. Some of the worst puppymills in the country are Amish businesses so I'm not surprised their hens were in lousy shape either.
