Thank God she lives in Germany. No one on the streets would be safe if she was driving in Kansas City...
We must know: were the pigs wearing lipstick?
I have to admit, that I too always feel sad when I drive by those trucks carrying animals to slaughter houses. Call me nuts, what can I say.
“Go, meat!...”
I remember being stuck behind a truck carrying hogs. Bits of straw, dust, and who knows what were wafting over my car in a kind of smog. It was a warm day, and the smell was ... well it was hard to breathe.

I am not buying this story. There are no vegetarians in Germany!
Here in Southern Delaware, we are the broiler chicken capital of the world.
Everyday you see trailer trucks carrying cages of chickens bound for the three processing plants in our county. These chickens are grown locally, and it is a huge business here.
Three large plants require an untold number of chickens to be delivered everyday.
People have jobs like “eviscerator process foreman”, etc.
When we see these trucks on the highway, my wife can’t bear to look at them.
So I provide her with a running commentary, like:
“Oh look, honey, the chickens think they are going for a ride. Yeah, their first and last ride!”
” There’s tomorrow’s Chicken McNuggets!”
” Hey, chickens, guess what’s for supper? YOU!”
Or: when we are buying packaged chickens at the supermarket: “Look, honey. We saw this chicken on the truck on Monday! I thought he looked familiar.”
Thank God she loves me.
How did she know where they were going? Maybe the pigs were being delivered to a farm, and she was all upset over nothing.
Or maybe she was drinking, and this was her cover story.
She also got very upset when we passed a truckload of chickens, evidently headed for the slaughterhouse. She commented that she was afraid that they were cold on their final journey.
My wife's a vegetarian.
So am I. It upsets me for animals to suffer--and for humans to suffer.
My old tagline, If god didn’t intend for man to eat animals, Why did he make them out of MEAT?
This story was of special interest to me since near my hometown of Flushwater, Arkansas is a huge chicken farm (the farm is huge, not the chickens). Last week the town’s resident paleontologist, Dr. B. A. Spicer, suffered a mental breakdown due to a shortage of vital nutrients in his vegetarian diet.
According to witnesses he drove his bio-diesel Moped into a chicken coop on the farm while screaming, “Be brave, Chickens, you have the blood of dinosaurs in your veins!”.
The poor fellow was attacted and killed by the chickens.
Farm manager, Pepe Salter said he wasn’t surprized.
“Chickens aren’t too smart. I doubt if any of them even knows what a dinosaur is”.
Just think if she were Muslim, she could have hit the Lotto!
Like we keep telling our youngest son, who up until now would not touch sauerkraut, “If it weren’t for sauerkraut and pigs, none of us would be here right now!”
We are mostly vegetarian too, for health reasons, but we eat meat about once a week on Sundays.
Oink that a shame?
