queerday.com tells us quote: Scientists have discovered that dairy cow herds can be intensely sexual. "Cows look calm, but really they are gay nymphomaniacs," John Webster said. The professor of animal husbandry at Bristol also claims that cows have a secret mental life in which they bear grudges, nurture friendships and become excited over intellectual challenges. They also struggle with fear, pain and anxiety, but can be incredibly happy when farmers provide the right conditions.

What evidence do you have that they 'like' it? I guess they like it better than, say, having their udders explode from excess turgidity, but I'm sure they'd *prefer* to have their nipples sucked by their own offspring. PS: that Times article is a real heartbreaker. Cool, but sad. [ 02 March 2005: Message edited by: Anchoress ]

If we treated our farm animals with more consideration, we'd all be so much healthier for it. I understand why so many people become vegetarians and vegans; it's very distressful for thoughtful people, when they become aware of the conditions in which pigs, chickens, feedlot cattle et al. are kept, to think that continually consuming their bodies is somehow good for us. Since I have a farm, I don't have to be a vegetarian, but I've made a pact with myself that when I leave here, I'll stop eating meat and eggs or else buy directly from the farm.And about cows' nymphomania...dairy producers often use their pre-heat humping behaviour (especially in heifers that are kept loose in groups) to know when to inseminate, because there's only an 18-hr fertile window every three weeks, and producers keep all kinds of statistics that tell them exactly how low they need to keep their numbers to remain "profitable". That's what's depressing about it all, I think.
