ok so i tried to find out what breed of cattle this is and i havent been successful but i found these two

and their names are texas tornado and johnny football

the pics are from this website and i dont know jack shit about cattle breeding so maybe someone can tell me if they’re a special breed

Cows now have Bichon Frise technology.

Yay lets fuck up the genetics of some more animals!

They are probably specially bred to have soft fur so some asshole can have some nice suede or leather.
I fucking hate you humanity

knowing humans, they will probably killed and skinned to make cute fluffy teddybears for their children.

Aw, they’re so fluffy!

Oh wow, thanks, omnivore, for the incredible nutritional advice. It makes perfect sense for the health of our species to be based around the breast milk of another animal.

You know what sucks about factory farming?* Those poor cows never get dessert. No trick-or-treating, no birthday parties, no office candy dishes. Just corn corn corn, soy soy soy, corn corn corn all year long. 

Thankfully for the rights of cows everywhere, the Weather Channel reports** that this summer’s drought has shot corn prices sky high, so farmers are actually finding it cheaper to feed their cows “discarded food products” like ice cream sprinkles, gummy worms, and marshmallows. Finally, some justice! Plus, imagine all the jobs this will create for future cow dentists. 

See, the reason this makes so much sense is that it’s obviously a good use of resources to process the food that cows eat as much as possible, so that when we slaughter them and eat their flesh, each bite will have the carbon footprint of driving a Hummer for six years or so. There’s definitely no irony in the fact that the methane from the poor cows contributes to the global warming that’s likely causing this and future droughts. Nothing weird about giving grass-eaters pure sugar with gelatin in it. GELATIN.

Guys, I hope you find this as uplifting as I did. Just doing my part to brighten your day. K, I’m off to go slam my hand in the car door a few times, because I just love that tingle. 

*Besides EVERYTHING.

**They do news?!

Solyent Green for cattle…where cows are fed other cows (not that this wasn’t already a common practice by the beef industry. It’s why there was/is such a huge mad cow problem…feeding dead cows to live cows. There’s so many levels of wrong to this and to the previous common practices of ‘the feeding of ruminant derived meat and bone meal to ruminants’. Please excuse my while I barf. I can hardly watch people eat beef in my presence any more.)

I will never understand why this:

doesn’t bother people

but this:

does.

Abuse. Is. Abuse.

That’s all there is to it.

“Meet William and Harry. They are four week old dairy calf orphans. William and Harry have a very sad story, but are luckier than they can ever imagine. Two days ago we were presented with another such situation — two very heart-wrenching orphans who were in such critical shape that they would have been dead within 24 hours had we not intervened.

The dairy industry is one of mankind’s cruelest industries. Like humans, cows must bear young in order to produce milk; their gestation period mimics a human’s as they carry their babies for nine months. Millions of cows need to give birth everyday to satisfy our appetite for milk. So, what happens to all of those babies? The dairy farmers certainly cannot have the babies suckling the milk that was “meant for us humans”… so the babies are taken away from the moms at birth and they are placed into crates, one on top of the other, until they are four to eight weeks of age. At that time they are sold at auctions for sometimes less that one dollar per calf to the veal distributors. All of these calves are very weak, sickly, hypothermic and injured. They are tube fed by the auctioneers when they have time to get around to it, which barely keeps them alive until they are sold. More than half of them die of starvation and the elements before they reach auction. Once they are auctioned off, they are slaughtered within three days and are on dinner plates shortly after that.

William and Harry were rescued right off of the veal truck. Yes, they were on their way to a veal farm with almost 100 others in one truck alone where they would have met their fate. Something happened and in an instant, two tiny, orphaned calves had a change of destiny. With nowhere to go, we opened our doors and took them in. Our veterinarian told us that the odds were they would die overnight…

William, the whiter one, was so emaciated his ribs were protruding and the outline of his skull was easily seen. Harry, the blacker one, was so terrified when a human approached him his eyes would become huge and he would start shivering out of fear that would send him into shock. Both babies were critically hypothermic and their diarrhea, which is called scours, was so severe they could not retain any moisture in their bodies…

No matter whether you eat veal, consume dairy, are a vegetarian or a vegan, if you are simply human and looked into the eyes of these sad souls, you would agree that they deserve the same second chance as all of the other animals that come to us time and time again. (Personal note: after doing so and coming to this realization, you all better go vegan and stop supporting this horrendous industry. Crying about how bad it is and realizing they have a right to live does nothing if you don’t act on it.)

Interesting irony… one of the trucks that was seen in the auction vicinity filled with innocent calves and dairy cows for slaughter was the “Happy Cows California” truck. Talk about some misleading advertising! William and Harry are the truly lucky ones, and they will live out the rest of their lives as the Real Happy California Cows.” — Read the full story: click here.
