the thanks

Half a mile down the road there are these cows, all male suckers (heifers?) I drive by them daily knowing that they soon end up as cheap minced beef on the shelf of a supermarket. I stop and talk to them - nobody ever talks to them. You gotta talk to animals, they deserve conversation and affection even if they end up being cut into pieces eventually.
So I also give thanks to all the animals who sacrifice their life for human hunger.

...wasn't even done writing my "cow rap" and you already posted a comment - figure that!
Have a great feast!
See you on the other side of the fence, and beware of mean spirits.

It's difficult to talk to them and then eat them I think ...

You'd be cheating them in a way ...

Happy thanksgiving :)

Amen! And don't forget a moment for the broccolis and soy beans who give their precious lives for the vegetarians. Have you heard the cry of a carrot in the pot? Something you never forget man...
