And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Many people have this idea that being around animals such as cows and sheep, donkeys and so on, is safe. It's not. Animals often act up and people are comparatively fragile.
Bulls and rams are responsible for a significant number of farm fatalities. Rams, in particular, kill a fair number of inexperienced women farmers who didn't realize they will keep hitting you even after you're down. And they hit HARD.
And, on a more morbid note, pigs were one of the leading causes of death amongst babies in medieval rural Europe. Mother takes baby out with her to do outside chores, looks away, Porky comes and has a snack. Sick, sick but true.
When working with my dad's cattle, there were always 2 or 3 that you knew never to turn your back to. That one Hereford bull finally spooked me enough that I took an 8 ft whip and cracked it in his face every time he lowered his head toward me. After stripping a bit of skin from between his eyes he learned to keep a healthy distance. Potentially lethal situation, considering many times I'd be out there by myself, no help in sight. Now I prefer my cattle medium rare and on a plate.
Mutton for everyone! Revenge is a dish best served piping hot.
ReplyDeleteBet the dog is the first on the chopping block. Man's best friend, my butt. :)
DeleteIf you're eating mutton, you need fresh sourdough biscuits to go with it.

ReplyDeleteNo joke, cattle are way more dangerous than people think.
DeleteI've a friend who keeps American bison on his farm. If they raise their tail vertically, leave hastily.
ReplyDeleteI'm stealing this.
ReplyDeleteIs it me or is that Howard Stern getting a mega ass kicking?
ReplyDeleteI does look like the subject is wearing a Stern mask. Bizarre.
