One thing gleaned from this-is the immediate transferral of really bad pathogens-(do dat mean bacteria an sh^&((%$t?) in areas where the animals are kept close up when something goes wrong-Like a pig manure pond breaking its dam in North Carolina-Really nasty O0

One thing apparent to me is that India doesn't care about global warming (or logic, like all cultures.)


It would be interesting to see a story about how they get rid of all the cattle that die of natural causes.

Did I understand that first article correctly?  They process the dead cattle carcasses they are commissioned to dispose of for hide and, gasp, meat for human consumption?????  Which is sold on the sly?????  That has to be healthy.

Thanks for the vulture article reference.  Didn't know about that.

Self imposed genocide through ignorance and a belief system that is counter to ones existence is the fallacy of tolerance. When one is displaced, there is no longer any tolerance. Funny how that works.


Vultures being replaced by rats, disease, etc.  sort of a parallel on society in general. We hold up certain symbols to be holy and they (really we) pass on that bubble to a generation who wonder how stupid we possibly could have been.  They in turn, will do the same thing.
