Hard it is to stare this deeply into what we have done to them -- through our agriculture, and now through our cultured heat doom -- but there's no other way to take accout. Fine, feral work Sherry.

...I'm glad they managed to rescue some of them.<br />My son and I live on the northeastern plains of Colorado. We have a long drive to any city. We always remark on the difference between the cows allowed to graze in the fields and those confined to feedlots. The feedlots stink to high heaven. There are both cattle and sheep feedlots along highway 14 into Fort Collins. There are a few pungent miles. <br />This is not a healthy state for the animals to live in and it is why they are given antibiotics. Living in those conditions means they're constantly sick.<br />Sigh. I know I'm preaching to the choir.
