If it's a horse or a cow, you'll call the vet to come over because it's worth a lot of money. If it needs to be put down, you'll get it to move back somewhere if you can where you can bury it or the stink won't bother anyone and have the vet put it down or put a bullet through the brain pan to kill it instantaneously. If it's a cow you might butcher it. If you're European and its a horse you might butcher that also.
The country is being ruined by a flood of idiotic sentimentality.
Stupid hypocrites.
How dare you? Those are little fur babies you’re writing about murdering. My fur babies love me more than m children do. They are part of my family and I would do anything for them. They understand my every thought because they are so smart.
Murderer!
In case it’s not obvious, that is total sarcasm. People who ascribe human characteristics to animals are morons.
To Leftists, particularly the stupid ones, electricity comes from those things in the wall of their houses, and meat and poultry were raised in white styrofoam trays covered with shrink wrap.
Life and death on a farm is a common thing to farmers with livestock. They have to be practical, because they don’t have the time or money to be sentimental. A working farm doesn’t allow that.
My wife and I stayed for a week at a dairy farm up in Vermont that probably had about 200 cows and doubled as a bed and breakfast. You could help with the chores if you wanted, or...you could hang out and read a book.
No television.
It was interesting. I loved watching the workflows, how people did things, the pace they worked at, etc.
As I was reading a book on the porch, I saw one of the dairymen get the attention of his coworker. Shortly, a backhoe with a bucket came out, and they loaded the corpse of a dead calf into it, and drove off. I followed and watched, they dug a trench, put the calf in, covered it up.
They had work to do, and not much time to mourn the death of a young animal, and so it went. Very workmanlike and little to no sentimentality, as one would expect, then back to work.
