I had a family member that was a traveling cow inseminator and he loved cows. I was at a steak house with him and asked why he is eating a giant steak for dinner if he loved cows so much. He kind of just shrugged and said "without the steak, I wouldn't get to hang around cows all day"

Spending part of my summer with him was illuminating. I bet beef would be way less popular if people got a chance to pet a cow regularly. Very smart animals, at least emotionally smart.

I know what you meant, but the images this brings to mind...

Don't shake that man's hand.

[-] PyroNeurosis 11 points 7 months ago

He went on to say that the man loved cows. What's not to get?

Well you're not getting any baby cows that way, that's for sure

This man had a dream, and tried to make it true. Can you blame him?

That sentence was a mental triple-take

It's a hell of a way to start a story!

I love both cows and dogs, and I grew up around both. And I've eaten both.

No kidding. I travel a lot, and I make a point out of trying "weird" stuff. In Calabar (Nigeria) I tried dog, I would describe the taste kind of like sheep, but not quite.

Makes sense, really. Thanks for the response
