Of course it's fucking cattle. OF COURSE. We need to get a leash on these ranchers who are making millions plundering our natural heritage and belching massive amounts of CO2 into the air. Too much of OUR land and too many of OUR resou

This makes me very happy I moved out of a city with an air quality rating of F to a city with an A. Hopefully the 10 years I spent in Chicago don't come back to haunt me later in life.
