“As a retired farmer, I have a couple of bones to pick with PETA.”
I volunteer to bone a few for you!?!
PETA = People Eating Tasty Animals
I have a t-shirt with this on it and during the summer I really get remarks on it, most of them in this bastion of liberals very nasty. I just laugh and ask if they would like to go hunting with me, I even offer to share the meat with them!
I grew up on ranches out in Montana and caring for your animals was tantamount if you wanted to build a strong herd and keep it that way. Peta types are people with too much time on their hands and too few brain cells! I always make them mad by listening to their complaints and then ask why they didn’t volunteer to test new cancer medications and save a rat the trouble. You know, put themselves ahead of a lab rat! Oddly enough, none of them seem interested in actually taking the rat’s place. (And you can bet they’d want to use that medication if they had cancer!)
I saw a neat TV program last night about ranchers in Montana. Big Sky country is so beautiful, it looks like Heaven to me....
