The Big Smoked

I'm back in the Big Smoke and "The Big Smoke" has gone teats up, which both saddens me and makes me concerned about the future of our domesticated animals.

Domesticated animals aren't like wild animals. If they were wild animals they could be released into their natural habitat, but they have no "natural" habitat. The natural habitat of a domesticated animal is human made. Livestock have been created by humans from wild animals for the sole purpose of feeding humans. If we do not eat those animals, humans will stop raising them and they will become extinct. It is very important for us to eat these animals to preserve their species. I don't care if you're a vegan, extinct is forever.

Like domesticated animals, humans also do not have a "natural" habitat. We do not function well in the forest which is why we convert the forest into cities. The result is a food chain basically like this: farmer grows grain, cow eats grain, farmer eats cow, grain eats cow shit. It is a simple food chain and it works for us. Don't screw with it by hunting; that is not our food chain. We don't live in the forest so we shouldn't get our food from it. Think about it, there are 1 million moose in Canada and there are 15 million cows; hunting is not sustainable at the earth's current human population.

We all must pull together to eat pulled pork and preserve the future of livestock and human kind alike. Support your local BBQ pit!
