Guest guest Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Well put, Janet! Hence, my earlier comments about America as planetary asylum. You omitted that we have transformed cows, which are absolutely designed as herbivorous creatures (technically another " vore " , but I won't go there for now), and turned them not only into meat-eaters, but cannibals. We feed them cow parts, all ground up. And we feed them grain, which they have almost no capacity to digest, then we feed them massive quantities of sodium bicarbonate to sooth the resulting and very painful indigestion they experience. What kind of creatures ARE we? ! All this brings to my mind the way in which we are typically taught about our history. We learn about the great conquerors, the great dominions. Who are we ... who shall we CHOOSE to become, as we go forward?

Look at what our society does to one of the most docile creatures on this earth. Industrial farms feed cows food not meant for their consumption, including grain and blood, we pump them full of antibiotics, cram them with other cows in lots, separate them from their calves, give them growth hormones that make them produce 40,000 gallons of milk (instead of the natural duration of the calf's needs), cut off dairy cow's tails so humans don't get swatted while stealing the milk, spray their skin with pesticides to make up for the lost tail, then cram the cows into a truck and transport them to a slaughterhouse where they are funneled into a single line as a man stands with a gun ready to shoot each cow in the head, one at a time, after which the cow is raised onto meat hooks and moved through the line of atrocious acts, sometimes AND often, still conscious. Who is the fanatic here? Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
