- jmarcher 2y ago> Don't kid yourself, Jimmy. If a cow ever got the chance, he'd eat you and everyone you care about!
- barfbagginus 2y agoBrick Top: You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. Sol: Would someone mind telling me, who are you? Brick Top: And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to cows. You got to starve the cows for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of Bessie's digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through cow sh*t, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen views to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a cow farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single cow can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a bull".
- defrost 2y agoMurderous cows and sheep slaughtering the insects on the grass they chew to death isn't quite the same degree of carnage as Rambo the cat though, are they?
- throw46365 2y agoCows are actually omnivores. It’s not just insect collateral damage: cows will chase and eat small birds, eat eggs of ground-laying birds, and will eat mice and rats in their feed if they happen on one that is immobile. It’s not particularly unusual. (Deer also do this)
- defrost 2y ago> You realise ... Yes. I grew up on a cattle station, practiced exploration geophysics globally for a few decades, now live in a rural area with land, grain, and livestock. You realise the question was, is comparing the accidental occasional deaths of animals in feed by cows or sheep comparable to the deliberate hunting and killing of cats?
- throw46365 2y agoSorry about the “You realise”. I decided to edit that out in the time while you were replying. Gone 3AM here and that tone was unreasonably grumpy; sorry again.
- noman-land 2y agoThat's pretty speciesist.
- defrost 2y agoI apologise for suggesting that sheep and cows are murderous. As for the carnage of cats: https://www.scimex.org/newsfeed/felixer,-the-grooming-trap,-works-to-control-feral-cats https://www.scimex.org/newsfeed/felixer,-the-grooming-trap,-... I'll take the bilbies and birds over introduced ferals every time.
- barfbagginus 2y ago"The automated device sprays a measured dose of poison onto the fur of cats when they pass within 4m, which the cats then ingest when they lick themselves during grooming" Does this hurt the cat?
- fullspectrumdev 2y agoIt explicitly is intended to cause death, so yes, it does hurt them. Probably quite a lot.
- CuriousCosmic 2y agoAll predators*
- noman-land 2y agoIt's not possible to live without killing. Plants are alive.
