cash-in on the credits by converting their agricultural land to forest.

One day people will get hungry. In America we are growing corn to burn as ethanol which is a waste, inefficient and subsidized heavily by tax dollars. One day people will get hungry.

Now the people are the sheeple.

Part of the decline is also due to the Repopulation Program taking place there and most Western countries. This has resulted in a doubling, or more, of the population, as the old guard is squeezed out to make way for the Third World types. But I also agree with the article, they’re in the process of shutting down meat production, as will the US should Biden win (still, a small price to pay, since Trump is so ‘brash’).

Pink Floyd - Sheep

Hopelessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I’ve looked over Jordan, and I have seen
Things are not what they seem

What do you get for pretending the danger’s not real
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel

What a surprise
The look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream

Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream

Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead
You better stay home
And do as you’re told
Get out of the road if you want to grow old

Recently I’ve been enjoying New Zealand lamb chops from Sam’s.

Mutton isn’t a pleasant meat, see Seinfeld, but it makes a tasty curry..

Maybe not, but I'd like to try it all the same. If my knew my way around the Mexican, Middle Eastern, Indian shops here in Phoenix I could probably find some. Lamb is delicious!

Mutton has a lot of fat in it, so maybe a carefully trimmed and marinated and grilled slab could be really delicious.

"New Zealand’s sheep-to-people ratio fell again in 2023"

Does it have anything to do with sheep trafficking?

My daughter and her cousin went on a cruise to Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. Had most fun in New Zealand and bought me a gorgeous sweater made mostly of possum fur and some sheep wool. So they’re not all sheeple there.

Myy friend’s cousin moved there from the US. Complains of confiscatory taxes, but felt it was worth it because it’s so peaceful and law abiding. Third world invaders will change that.

I have been craving mutton for 35 years after having it three times in a row every time I had dinner a friend’s house. I hated it the first two time and liked it the third. They were Basque and raised a lot of sheep. I raised a dorper lamb a few years ago, it was tender and mild. I kinda wish it had a little more sheepy flavor. My daughter just got a lamb for FFA today. I’m really craving some lamb chops. LOl

I’m from Bakersfield Ca. When I was younger there were sheep herders everywhere. All of them Basque. They established some great Basque restaurants that are still in business, still packed, and some of the best food you can have. Woolgrower’s has recipes on their website.

I’d have to shed my guns at their border, so those countries are a no-go for me...as far as a relocation. A visit maybe...they ARE beautiful places to go.

>> One day people will get hungry.

That’s why my newest vocation is what I call “Part Time Sustenance Agriculture”. It’s a proud step backwards in time! Guess that makes me an antiprogressive...? 🤣
