by hedgeless_horseman.... Please, allow me to share with you some observations I have made while keeping livestock on our small farm, and observing our modern, free, and progressive society. With livestock, it is a common practice to cull the unproductive from the herd. With livestock, it is a common practice to affect population control by allowing only castrated males to frolic with the females of the herd. It is a common practice to domesticate livestock through regular feeding. It is a common practice to domesticate livestock with simple and repetitive training. It is a common practice to provide livestock with shelter. It is a common practice to provide livestock with a unique identifier such as a brand, tattoo, ear tag, or RF chip. It is a common safety practice to sedate livestock with drugs. It is a common practice to keep very large numbers of livestock to provide passive income for a few owners. (Edit... THIS is the primary goal of all Leftism!! Socialists, Progressives, Communists, American DemoCraps and worse... ALL OF THEM!!) https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-03-20/they-will-work-they-will-plow-they-will-reap ________________________________________________________________ There is an explanation for each of the above in the link. If it doesn't make you think, you've not been paying attention. Worth the few minutes it takes to read for everyone. Focuses your attention on "the bottom line" of Leftism.
