A little story: When I was a kid on my uncle’s farm, we used to milk the cows everyday, twice a day, without fail, at 5:30am and 5:30pm. Uncle was very strict about it.
One day we were harvesting wheat about 50 miles west of the farm on one of his leased plots of land and our truck broke down. We weren’t able to get back to the farm until about 2am. We immediately sped out into the pasture and walked the cows two miles back to the barn in the blackness with the truck following.
The cows’ sacks were huge by this time, almost bursting, and with every step they took, milk was squirting out of their teats. They were moaning in agony and trying to butt us. When we finally got them back into the barn, they tried to kick us when we put them in their stalls and shackled them. They were PO’d at us, no two ways about it. They were in pain and wanted to be milked, but they also wanted to make us pay.
You can ruin a milk cow by not milking it on time (what PETA wants), especially if you make a habit of it. We didn’t make a habit of it. That was the only time we missed a milking in all the summers I spent on the farm.
Sounds like he hasn’t met the right woman.
ping!
... two scoops of wild cherry in a cone please. No, make that two cones.
Liberalism truly IS a mental disorder, as Mike Savage says.
I belong to PETH—People for the Ethical Treatment of Humans. We are against Islam, against communism, against liberals who refuse to recognize that all life must kill & consume other life in order to survive (and that humans have the right to eat all other life forms, because our survival is a basic right), and against Susan Sarandon on general principles.
If any animal happens to successfully kill & eat a human being, fine; that’s survival for that animal. But as a member of the reigning species, I say all other animals are fair game for us humans.
Liberals should be enslaved and forced to act as human shields for our troops on patrol in Baghdad and wherever else IED’s are common. Just kidding, they are fun to have around sometimes, even if they are permitted to roam free.
I’m partial to vanilla but I’ll try the chocolate too...
Gees, lady, why are you yelling at me?
PETA lamebrains need to eat more meat. Their brains are mal-nourished.
If a cow isn’t relieved by being milked, it goes through a lot of pain.
I love animals too, but please let anyone you know that supports these deviants that their money would be better donated to their local shelters, or the ASPCA. Destroy PETA now!!!!!!!!!
No way of knowing with the data base malfunction. You should be safe from the posting police for a while as long as nobody posted it after yesterday morning.
So much material, so little time....
No.
I’m surprised PETA doesn’t just recommend we switch to soy milk, so men will start growing their own breasts. ;)
That's true of any mammal. Having nursed my kids, I definitely can concur.
All the dairy farms I see look pretty good to me. The calves are on the farms with the cows, kept outside and allowed to range. The barns are open and airy. Yeah they smell, but WTH, they're cows!
A sick animal doesn't produce well and medicine is expensive. It's not worth their while for dairy farmers to mistreat their animals.
They want milk, not silicone.
They want milk, not silicone.
nor Hepatitis C
lol. You mentioned the Code Pinko. I worked at a concert last night that Code Pink had a table at. (I go to concerts to escape politics, not be campaigned to. But this one even had an Vote for Obama thing). I found many of these people are actually nice when they don’t know your POV. Two people wore “Capitalism is the devil’s wet dream” shirts. I almost asked how they got their tickets, but am not supposed to start fights at work. LOL!
