I don't think there is one person responding to the original post that likes or supports cruelty to animals. There are obviously bad conditions on large factory farms and small ones to boot. There are stray dogs and cats dying in streets and alleys everyday, so why aren't these people out rounding them up and giving them good homes. They're animals too, and that's something that could really make a difference. The problem I have with the whole deal is people that put a higher value on animal life than human life. If someone is killed in a major city, it may not be much more than a one paragraph story on page 6, but let someone toss a dog into moving traffic and you have a national story for days. Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? All this while there are millions of people being killed worldwide everyday in wars, from disease and the list goes on. We're supposed to produce less food by shutting down factory farms, but when there are people starving somewhere in the world, where does everyone look? Right to the good old USA. As long as there is a demand for the food, someone will meet it. And if you think conditions are bad here, I'd hate to see some of the things that probably go on overseas where there is no U.S.D.A. to oversea any of the food production. Open-air butcher shops right on the street? That's real humane, now isn't it? Oh, but we can excuse that because it's a third-world country and that's part of their culture. I'm not responding to call you a left-wing radical, but when a lot more of the many other problems we have in the world are solved, I will be much more likely to donate time and attention to this subject. Maybe when China stops putting people into slavery, harvesting their organs for sale and the like I'll be a little more worried about the chickens at the farm down the road.

The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
