East Setauket [Long Island, NY] farmer, Bob Benner and his family have learned to live off their 15 acres of land since 1977.
"We learned, made, and had our own heat. We made our own food. We made our own clothing. We raised a garden," he said.
With six mouths to feed on a tight budget, Benner began raising certain farm animals as a source of food.
Over the years, Benner's farm has evolved into a popular attraction for strawberry picking, birthday parties, and class trips for kids. Which is how Kimberly Sherriton, a mother from Commack, got involved with a farm cow that she saw at a birthday party.
Sherriton became heartbroken when she heard that the 2-year-old cow will end up on the Benners family dinner table.
Benner says he does not want to sell the cow because his family can't afford to buy that quality of food.
Sherriton still believes he should buy meat from the store.
"He doesn't need this cow to survive and feed his family. He puts a sob story on there. Please, tell him to go to Whole Foods and go get some anti-biotic free beef there," she said.

The murderer ... is getting nasty emails and threats ... deserves it because he's about to eat Minnie Moo ... instead, should go to Whole Foods and go get some antibiotic free beef!
Kill a cow to save a cow, makes sense to me...........
His Cow his rules, No body says he cannot eat his strawberries, but they whine about the cow...
If I had to kill what I eat, I guarantee you that I’d be a vegetarian.
So - does she think that the meat from Whole Foods is made in a meat factory - no cow had to be killed?
God save us.
in the liberal world everyone is a stakeholder, or should we say steakholder
These people are crazy
It is his cow, if he wants to eat some day, that is his to do.
And Whole foods is crazy expensive, they don’t call that place Whole Paycheck for nothing

Wow, the pictures of the protesters didn't disappoint my prejudgement predictions about the type of creature we would see protesting.
Fat Ugly Lesbians - Check
Ugly Hipster looking Metrosexual barely male - Check
Silly doofus looking hat on fat person - Check
I love animals, especially when they are on my plate next to the taters.
Why do all protestors look that way?
it is almost like it is a requirement
God I hate stupid people...
I have a younger sister who grows and slaughters all her own meat. I asked if she gets attached to them. She said “yes, but I know they had a better life than what I can buy at the store”.

For such a group of “professional non-conformists” they all look pretty much the same don’t they?

I love animals too, especially with gravy!
How come the 4th one didn’t have an original slogan?
How come the 1st one is ‘N’-challenged?
These are things one needs to know.
Hipsters are all “non conformists” but they all look and dress the same?
The hypocrisy escapes them
The girl holding the “You don’t eat family” sign didn’t get that fat eating tofu, I’ll wager. Few thousands Big Macs in her trunk.
Well, make sure, first, that her family is still with us.......(rimshot)
This reminds me of the Chick fil a cow campaign. Funny, I was just reading about it. Apparently, these people have formed an attachment to the cow. They could buy it and give it to Chick fil a. Somebody will have to take care of the creature.
