wouldn't be a HUGE agenda, here, would there guys?



"For animal welfare advocates, however, the spread of the new coronavirus at meat processing plants is just another symptom of the industry's disregard for both human and animal life.

"Even without the connection to coronavirus, animal flesh is one of the most cruelly obtained and unhealthy things you could consume," People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wrote. "Eating meat has been conclusively linked to heart disease, cancer, obesity, and other health issues — and according to the United Nations, animal agriculture is responsible for nearly a fifth of human-induced greenhouse-gas emissions. But each person who goes vegan won't just help fight climate change — they'll also save the lives of nearly 200 animals a year, animals who, just like us, don't want to be killed. Don't wait for COVID-20 — forget freezer meat and go vegan now."

Cool. Cant wait to see the wet markets spring up in NYC Chicago, St Louis etc.

Should help w the stray cat and dog probs.

My rooster crows in response to a rooster in the distance west of here and one in the distance east of here. So I know there are at least two other houses with chickens within a few hundred yards of my home.

I've been keeping chickens for eggs for about ten years now.

we only feed a few ferals, cats, that have been hanging around for a long time. several people on the street are feeding rather large cat colonies, and my ferals don't like company and keep them away. but we have kind of an ecosystem. there is a big owl that hits the cats at feeding time, air lifts them up, and drops them. then proceeds off for lunch.
and a pack of coyotes running the neighborhood after the cats.
not to mention the various hawks that go after them.

i have an old palm tree, that i don't trim, for the bird populations. guy across the street at one time was training his retrievers with pigeons where he had cropped their wings. when he moved he turned the pigeons loose, who walked across the street and took up residence in the palm. probably ten generations later they are still there. along with several other species of birds.
cats get a few, and the hawks make a living off them too.
something to see a hawk hit a pigeon in the air at about 50mph. kaboom.
i have been thinking about putting chickens in the back yard for years.

Tyson meat plant near Tri-Cities to stay open despite coronavirus outbreak there



Walla Walla County health officials say they will allow the Tyson Fresh Meats plant near the Tri-Cities to continue operating with additional measures to protect workers from the new coronavirus.

About 42 people — most, if not all of them, employees — are believed to have COVID-19 linked to an outbreak at the Wallula plant, with health officials expecting more cases.

my prefered method for dove is to strip off the breast meat, throw the rest of the bird away. lightly brown. then take a jalopeno pepper, strip out the veins and seeds, insert breas meat filling up with phillie cream cheese. wrap pepper with bacon, and grill. when bacon is done, pepper is done. they disappear in a hurry.
back in the 70's i could get a limit of quail in probably 15minutes. we just when from one covey to another, never bothering with singles.
but the quail populations are way down from what they use to be.

there is a chinese restaurant right around the corner. if times get real bad, might have to work out a deal with them on those cats.

I have not seen flour in a month. Sugar is around. I have not seen toilet paper in a month. I have not seen yeast in a month. I've not seen hand sanitizer in who knows when.

Thankfully we were set for a bit with all the above and can continue onward a while, well actually longer than a while really, BUT who the hell is still buying so much?

At least there are cattle roaming the 100 acres.. not that we'll run out of venison of differing flavors in the freezer for some time.

Control the food . Control the population. People will do anything they are told for some food.

Can what doesn't fit in the freezer.

All I gotta say, we run outta bacon and there's gonna be hell to pay.

lol,, yeah , love me some bacon

Bound to happen.
The largest pork plant in S. Dakota, one of the largest in the US, is shutting down.

Sign of the times??

I was told by an Italian immigrant, years ago, a dictator takes good care of the farmers. Food for the people.

With that foresight did you also short the DJIA and the NASDAQ ?

John, the truth hurts but I think that you’re right !
