Reply #20: I don't ride a cow, but I do ride my horses [View All]

Also I don't take a cow camping and trail riding, along with my dog; don't take a cow to Arizona with me to spend the winter and go riding in the mountains, don't put shoes on cows, don't put fly masks on cows to keep the face flies at bay, don't feed cows peppermints, have never named a cow Maggie or Shorty or Invest in Generator or Merry Bell's Gal or Night Eyre or Toby or Copy's Black Ace or Thunder's Rhythm ore Magic's Miss Sunshine. Cows are raised for food, as are pigs, chickens, etc. Horses are raised as working and companion animals in our country.

I don't know if you have a dog or a cat, but if you did, would you be at all upset if thieves stole your pet to sell for 60 cents a pound to the meat man? That's what happens to far too many horses in this country as a direct result of the horsemeat market. Shameful.
