They were left where they fell and the foxes, coyotes and vultures had a
feast.

So the foxes, coyotes and vultures of TX are lazy louts and cannot hunt =
their own dinner? What spoiled wildlife you have.

$5.67 for you..... a life time for a cow! Did you know the cow? Was it a
happy cow?

Happy Cows make good meat!

Anybody can BBQ a cow...... few can BBQ a happy cow!

Our friends had 2 cows, they were more pets than livestock, very happy cows,
fed right, when it came time to butcher, they couldn't eat their 'pets'. We
got the one. Meat was kinda tough, chewey.

Everyone ought to have windfall once in a while.
Actually it was what turned me off on hunting or killing. Have you ever
heard a wounded rabbit cry?

Making an animal that is a pet go through pain like that is unkind and unnatural.

I agree but go even farther. IMHO making an animal into a pet is unkind
and unnatural in and of itself. Most would agree with the fictional
characters in Tolkein's world who abhor the evil of breeding elves into
"orcs", yet we see nothing at all evil in breeding wolves, coyotes and
foxes into creatures that cannot survive without constant human succor.
Breeding food animals to be docile and yield more meat, or taming other
predators to guard us and/or help us hunt is/was a necessity, but
breeding them into misshapen creatures that can only live on somebody's
lap and run their tongues into their keepers' mouth just to gratify that
person's unnatural emotional needs ... Oy! And they'll call me sick?

There are choices and then there are choices. If a person does not spend the money for the euthanasia, then he will spend it for the vet. I had a client with 3 small children. The family acquired a cute fuzzy wuzzy daisy dog with an unfortunate genetic bone disease. ...


Any distaste and anger this unfortunate event elicits should be directed
at the fools who bred the cute fuzzy wuzzy daisy dog and at the
over-emotional idiots who suborned their crime by buying it. And no, it
isn't all the big breeders. Had "fuzzy" been a more healthy male, they
might have showed him til he became a "champion" then bred him and taken
"pick of the litter" in payment. Then they'd have bred him to his
daughter to recoup the $big$ they paid for him and make a profit. After
all that's what the people they got him from had done, and recommended -
and the fools before them and ... ad nauseum. That's how these horror
stories begin.

Can you not see the madness in that notion? Remember the farm? In my day
the cat went out to hunt rodents and the dog came in to bark intruders
come bed time. Come daylight their places reversed but their jobs stayed
the same. We loved these animals - hell I still love cattle - but we
never, ever thot of them as surrogate humans or part of the family any
more than I thot of a beloved car, bike or boat as a surrogate human.
That IS sick, and the only people I know who exhibit that illness are
demonstrably unbalanced - folks who cannot get the companionship they
seem to need naturally. A healthy man derives sufficient companionship
from friends at a pub, sports bar, et cetera, and from wife and family;
those who cannot get it thru an unnatural relationship with a pet. In
their demented minds the pet takes on the human characteristics they
yearn for until they begin to think like you. It's become so common in
our urban culture that many, divorced from nature, begin to think it
natural. It is not.

She's concerned..... you're pathetic! You should be honoured LP takes even

I do not desire, nor do I need the interest or the concern of some
flighty and uppity bitch.
