Nobody's gonna beat a vet with a rubber hose because they gave a cow antibiotics.

Nobody's gonna beat a vet with a rubber hose because they gave a cow antibiotics.
- meepmorp 13y agoIt's your basic (American, right-) libertarian argument against the state doing anything that limits business. I think its application in a case like this nicely encapsulates the flaws in the philosophy, or at least the ability of its adherents to apply it sensibly. Edit for clarity.
- kintamanimatt 13y agoWhat? How did you make that leap from "nobody's gonna beat a vet with a rubber hose" to assuming I'm a hardcore libertarian? I'm for the reduction of antibiotics through government regulation. I think business should be restricted when it comes to doing harm to society. With such a leap, I can only logically assume you replied to the wrong comment.
- meepmorp 13y agoNo, I was responding to you with an observation about the comment above yours. There's nothing about your post that indicates adherence to libertarianism.
- ctdonath 13y agoIf it's outlawed (as suggested above), he refuses to pay the fine, persists in doing it, and goes to great lengths to refuse subsequent incarceration, then yes he will face something akin to getting beaten with a rubber hose.
