With a cluck-cluck here and a cluck-cluck there I add 285,000 chickens who perished in a fire in Maryland last Tuesday...
With an oink-oink here and an oink-oink there 800 genetically advanced breeding pigs were flown on a 747 to China.
With a moo-moo here and a moo-moo there Idaho gets busted with illegal drug residue found in cow's milk and dairy cows at slaughter. But not to worry... They've got a few passed bills to help suppress this kind of news.
With a neigh-neigh here and a neigh-neigh there Idaho also manages to keep horses off the "pet protections" list... This keeps the options open for when/if they build their "humane" horse slaughter facility, most likely on an Indian reservation. Nice huh?
Finally, with a bah-bah here and a bah-bah the lambs born this last winter will be fattened just in time to make it to the festive Easter celebrations only weeks away! And I guess it's true as one of these farmers admits... You can't keep them all!
Too bad Old MacDonald never considered birth control as an option...
It really would be such a better place. :(
If you have the inclination to consider any of these animals as "food", please know that they are sentient beings. They love their lives just like you and I do. There are many better options for nourishment -
Please, go vegan.
