Riddle me this: What's the difference between a cow and someone on death row? For one thing, the cow has not been convicted of some heinous crime.

It seems that these people, who purport to claim to care so much about animals, are completely ignorant of the existence of any animal life beyond horses, cows, pigs, chickens and turkeys. Yes, of course it is too bad that so many animals (most often rats, mice and rabbits) have to be killed. The logic of this is ridiculous.

Unfortunately, contemporary people from the high Andes are beginning to see condors as the enemy; a predator that will kill and eat livestock. It is also true that condors will spot cows and other livestock giving birth and guard the animal to be there and take advantage of the placenta and other leftovers. Photo: Alexander More.

The problem with that statement is it's not as if farmers are searching "the wild" for cows, pigs, chicken and fish, plucking them from their homes, and plopping them on a farm to live out their (shortened) lives prior to slaughter. We can choose not to kill and eat someone we do not need to eat in order to survive. Yes, that's true.

In fairness, I think that what the linguistically lazy are really trying to say is that a little bit of a bad thing isn't going to kill you.
