Not what I want to be writing about.

I logged on tonight and before anything else, as always, checked out the NY Times. Thought I'd take a quick glimpse at the article Would You Like Sick Cows with those Fries?. Careful. There's no such thing as a mere glimpse here. The Humane Society video of cows being abused and beaten is overwhelming. There's a link to NoDowners.org, a group that exists because of horrific practices in the meat and dairy industry, in this case, treatment of what are known as "downers"- "animals so diseased or badly injured that they cannot even walk." They can still be dragged and beaten and sold for human consumption though.

I'll say no more. Take a look at the links. I'm only the messenger, and a sad one at that.
