What particular farms are you addressing here? I know of a few free-range places in your neck of the woods where the lives of the animals are not miserable. Putting aside the question of these animals living outside of captivity and domestication, life in nature is brutal and short. Winter starvation is common, as is predation by the canines, cats, and ursines.
I'm certainly not arguing in favor of factory farms, as they are an abomination upon mankind on so many levels, but the idea that we inflict anything as close to what nature would inflict is suspect at best. They get food and water and medical care, otherwise the farmer doesn't have a product to sell.
Still, I'll buy my beef from a local farmer, 1/2 a steer at a time. Cheaper, tastier, better for the environment and economy, and it's tough to run out of steaks.

It doesn't bother you that there are legitimate alternatives to factory farmed pig, cow, chicken or sheep, and you discard those options out of hand?

Also, nice pic Nikki. It's a good example of why I don't buy any form of factory farmed animal for consumption.

The Cubs aren't playing in the series this year.

 

Why would a Cubs fan contribute to this thread? I don't see any Padre or Devil Ray fans here.

I get your drift.

horse is yummy too

I am the news.

Sadly, they held a World Series this year and only one of the teams which showed up, wanted to win.

 

Pro-tip- Never throw strikes at Damon in the top of the ninth with 2 out.

And now we return to our regularly scheduled topic.

It's always Memorex.

thuryl, i'll help you with your project

Yup, so I had changed it. I guess you looked before I leaped.

I've been told that having the Yuckees win will perhaps spur the Red Sox into serious post-season contention, rather than this current spate of ho-hum we deserve the post-season boringness. So, as a diehard, lifelong Red Sox fan, I am apparently better off to root for the Yucks over the Phils.

 

Sorry. Just can't do it. That pitcher from game 1 is my new boyfriend after those two stellar (albeit nonchalant) fielding plays he made. Getting into his head, wasn't he just screaming "So, what's the big deal with these guys anyways? Let's play Little League ball!.

 

(mostly this and that.)

When I want fast food, I eat tuna.

Thanks for showing the pics.

 

(and again, congratulations)

Nah, it more along the lines of artificial intelligence.

Only one I have heard of is Jagger.

 

Or were you using it as an ethinc slur?

What if you called "Crusade!" and no one showed up in opposition?

Huh. So is that how they tied it into the Roman god Janus?

Luckily, few decide on a career in bureaucracy or politics.

Thanks Laz

 

Ick. Still a fail.

Odd. I am also a moderator for the CSR, but do not have thread creation privileges. I see a couple started by Jewels, but otherwise it is by Lazarus, who is advertised as admin. I know that there is a hidden admin subset of the moderator group, perhaps you are part of that, Jewels?

It seems you need to be a member of Admin group to create a thread over at SV-CSR. Either that, or I fail.

Aversion therapy.

Actually, humans are the least likely to survive the challenges and toxicity we created. I guess we made our bed.
