We need more articles like this to counter the propaganda of HSUS and PETA.
Glad to see this article.
The most characteristic attitude of animal-rights groups is snobbery.
Only living a thin little life in an apartment in semi-suburbia is “corret”.
People who actually produce stuff are low-class. Workers, you know. Out there in the cold and the manure.
Snobbery is the most characteristic trait of all these groups.
The average American is now 4 generations from the farm. Thanks to the Nixon Administrations moto of “Get Big or Get Out” in regards to farming this gap will only grow. People really have no idea what goes on at a farm anymore.
Almost all of our meat now comes from four meat processing companies, most of whom hire illegal labor. The pictures PITA gets are from these huge operations, not from your small local processor or someone who does farm slaughter.
“What if we told the highway patrol we were going to give them the day off and we’re just going to self-regulate our speed?” he said. “People understand that doesn’t work.”
I don’t understand that at all.
In the 60’s CBS produced a show called “Guns of Autumn” to show what hunting was like in America. It was almost all shot on hunting ranches and depicted a lot of nitwits passing themselves off as hunters. There were multiple scenes of animal abuse. This was what CBS thought hunting was about.
It’s a beautiful day in Maryland. After weeks of numbing cold, we are having a rare few days of temps in the 60s. People are out riding their bikes, strolling hand in hand, and playing games with the kids. Convertibles speed by on joyrides, and our neighbors have fired up their grill.
My husband and I are shoveling and moving carts full of muck since the manure finally thawed out.
We break our backs to keep things clean, safe and healthy for our animals. The house may not be as tidy as I’d like but the barns are clean and swept. The other livestock breeders and owners that we know are the same way.
We also know a few “animal rights activists.” Our animals are cleaner, better fed, better trained, and have more attention paid to them than the activists’ kids.
They really frost my cookies.
